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.

Thanks to StephenB and the Netgear community for all there help. I will install Ajax Explorer (think it's still called that) and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll have to learn SSH, which isn't hard, but seemed like a lot of effort to change a number in a config file. I'm trying really hard to make ReadyNAS the equipment default for these installing and this is really the last hurdle...It's been a long road. Thanks again, I'll write one more post either letting everyone know Ajax Explorer worked, or that I manned up on SSH.
