I did not use ssh in the last 10 years. I do have some experience, but I will need a quick reference guide on how to access the NAS via ssh. I do assume I will need to use the terminal interface on my laptop.

The first step is to enable ssh in system->settings->services using the admin web interface. check the box next to "enable password authentication".  You don't need to upload an ssh key file.

If you are using the default admin password (which is password) you will need to change it to something else.

Then log into the NAS using root as the username and the NAS admin password.

If you are using Windows, you can just enter

ssh root@nas-ip-address

in the windows search bar.

On a Mac, open terminal, and enter the same command there.

Either way, obviously use the real NAS IP address.  With windows, the first time you do this, you will get a prompt you need to accept in order to allow the connection.  I suspect you will also get that on the mac.

Once in, you'd enter

cd /var/cores
ls -als *

If you see the core file, then you are in the correct folder.

You can delete it with 

rm core-systemd
