How to access SSH after EnableSSH is installed?
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Business edition running RAIDiator 4.2.27. I had subsonic 4.7 running (from super-poussin) on it and upgraded to 5.1. I've noticed two problems after that that I'm trying to resolve:
1. for some reason, I have to restart the subsonic process each day (it use to remain running 24x7)
2. Subsonic no longer transcodes flac (or anything else). Btw, I have ffmpeg v1.3 installed from super-poussin as well, and it worked fine with v4.7
After reading a little about it, I thought that maybe the ffmpeg transcoder is not in the location where subsonic is looking for it. I thought to verify this, then upon verification, move ffmpeg to the \subsonic\transcode subdirectory, which is the directory tha tthe subsonic log file references when I try to play a flac file that it needs to transcode.
I installed EnableSSH v1.0 successfully (no errors), but cannot find how to access it to check it out further. I don't know linux, which is probably a key problem, but I'm asking for help here because I've run out of guesses. For example, I tried logging in to Frontview using root and the password for the admin account - no go. Is telnet what you use? Google brought back a cygwin product which I installed to no avail - it installed nothing but a shell, and made great references to all the stuff you can install - no go.
Help is much appreciated.

I would use the putty.exe file from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
I think you should be O.K. with those, but still best to make sure your backup is up to date before you do this.

On Windows, I would download and use PuTTY. This is a free SSH/telnet client for Windows that we use.
SSH and telnet are two separate things.
With PuTTY, I would SSH in (remember the user is 'root' - no quotes - not 'admin', but the password is initially set to be the same as the 'admin' password)
Especially if you're not familiar with SSH you could very easily cause further problems through using it. So I would be cautious about making any changes using it.Thanks for such a quick reply.
Given your warning, I do want to be cautious. Where would you suggest downloading PuTTY from? Are there multiple version? Any particular one I should download?
Also, any tips you have about the problem I'm trying to solve, I would appreciate. The commands I read (on this forum) for fixing my problem are below (from user gibxxi on topic Subsonic 5.1 Add-on - No transcoding files.:

2015-03-13 06:08 PMI managed to fix this (after a quick google search) by SSH'ing into the NAS, and issuing the following commands:
cd /apps/subsonic/transcode
...and...
ln -s "$(which ffmpeg)"
For those people who like to set up custom rules with the lame and flac encoders you'll need to install them with:apt-get install lame
...and...
apt-get install flac
...to get them installed as the OS doesn't seem to have these encoders installed by default.
Then re-run the second command, substituting "ffmpeg" for the required codec. Finally, go back to the Subsonic UI and setup your transcoding rules as desired.
