rsync to/from synology failing

i was asked to copy some data from a Linux server to Synology NAS. SSH keys have been exchanged, i was able to ssh root@ipOfSynology. but trying to ssh something to it was failing:

rsync -av --progress * root@ipOfSynology:/volume1/some/where/
sending incremental file list
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(232) [sender=3.4.1]

i’ve googled and i’ve found https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/121078 – i had to go to Synology’s admin page > Control Panel > Users & Groups, find admin, edit it and account and temporarily enable it till the next day
