SSH on NV+

Hi,

Since i can't find any topic related to the " enable Root SSH addon" i'll give it a shot here;

I've installed the addon on my NV+ to figure out why transfer rates are so low (tried to use 'top' command, but it doesn't work). Connecting through SSH all works just fine, but since the command I want to use doesn't work (for no reason, it seems) i'd like to delete it. There is, so it seems, no way to do this using the interface of my readynas. The addon isn't listed in the 'installed addons' page, and uploading the .bin file for the second time doesn't do the trick.

Anyone here who can help me on this? I'd like to use NTOP for showing CPU load and transfer rates and all, but that won't work through SSH 'cause the other SSH plugin is (appearantly) locking files when in use. Since I can neither stop or delete this plugin, it is in use all the time.

Please help me, i'm quite stuck on this one!

  • Sorry, just saw this topic. For the "Unknown terminal type" error, there's two ways to fix that:

    1) Change the terminal type of OS X terminal app to "xterm" or
    2) when connected through SSH issue the command "export TERM=xterm"

    While the first solution will offer a permanent fix, the second one has to be done on every new session. The main reason for the problem is that OS X terminal by default uses a terminal type of "xterm-color" which isn't known by all Linux distribution ( and neither on Solaris for that matter). Thus they fall back to a very lowtech terminal type which explains your problems with the display of some command line applications.
