Root Access
I am in need of root access to my Readynas. It's the SSH add-on the only option? I need to change my default upload limit for PHP.
On an OS6 NAS go to System > Settings > Services and enable SSH.
On a legacy ReadyNAS you will need to install the EnableRootSSH add-on.
Any way you get root access has the same support implications.
I'm new to having to log in through SSH. None of the command seem to be working after login. I am trying to navigate to the config.php file and make changes. Can you suggest any tutorials or have any advice?
Generally it is risky to use ssh on the NAS if you don't understand what the commands do.
What commands are you trying to enter?
In your case, you could copy the config file to a share, and then use notepad++ on a PC to edit it. (notepad won't work, you want a tool that maintains linux end-of-line conventions). That would be easier than attempting to use vi.
