Data Migration Between 2 FreeNas Servers

Hello,

 

My Google Fu is apparently weak today,as I cannot find and answer to my questions for Freenas. I have built a new Freenas server and would like to migrate my files onto the new device from my old Freenas Server. 

 

The new machine has 12 bays, all are full. The old machine has 5 hard drives in it. I cannot transplant the drives into the new server. I have gigabit networking in my house and am able to do the transfer over ethernet if there is an easy way to do so.

My goal is essentially to "map a network drive" that is my old Freenas machine, and copy the files over. I'm certain I am using the wrong terminology for all of this; I am sorry.

Is there a plugin for Freenas that would allow me to do this easily? I had heard Rsync mentioned in a couple of posts, but seen no instructions/ actual appliaction/ results of using it.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!
