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.
So I should clear up a couple things about the equipment. I'll be on a Mac, mounting with SMB. Do the same instructions apply, or should I be mounting with AFP? I'll be editing in DWeaver do Linux formatting won't be a problem.
The net use command doesn't apply to Mac, its just windows. Mac also uses the same formatting as linux for text files, so that is not a concern.
You will want to access /data/.apps using SMB even though you are on a mac. I don't have any macs, but I think this guide is likely correct: http://users.wfu.edu/yipcw/atg/apple/smb/
.apps is a hidden folder (which I gather is a pain on a mac). But I think you can simply use smb:\\nasname\data\.apps for the server address. You will need to use admin as the username, and the NAS admin password for the password.
