i see these instructions here but dont know how to get to this stage. have very basic command promt skills so once rolling i should be ok.

 

Q1 - yes... im telling you im stuck on step 1... hence why iv asked for instructions to get to this stage several times now... i just want a quick... you enable this, you reset your nas and boot into this mode... you then install this program and bam.. you are now at step 1... is it that hard?????

 

Q2 - NO but i can, iv seen that floating around in the setting before

 

Q3 - as stated before i have not used SSH... so are you refering to the OS as in windows/mac etc? or the specific software im using to SSH? BTW its windows 7 64bit.

Okay, let's take it from the top - When you say you "have a background in IT", based on what I've read so far, it is obvious that you have never done any Linux/UNIX System Administration.  You are aware that your ReadyNAS is running a customized version of Debian Linux right?

RE - Q1: You said ". . .is it that hard?????"  Thinking back about the very first time I did any Linux/UNIX System Administration - YES it was very hard indeed :smileyfrustrated:

RE - Q2: You must enable SSH (root) Access as seen in the image below

RE - Q3: Since you are not using an operating system with a native SSH client, you must first install one.  One such software package is called "PuTTY: a free SSH and Telnet client".  Since you appear to have reservations about utilizing a search engine to find any information on your own, I'll provide you with the URL where this software can be found - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

As it has become painfully obvious that I am the only one monitoring this thread who is going to help you - you might as well install "FileZilla" as well, and that can be found here - https://filezilla-project.org/ .  Be sure to install the CLIENT not the SERVER package. . . 

That should keep you busy for a while.  I have to sign off for now.  It's 3 AM here, and I have to get a few hours of sleep before work later today. . .
