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 res...
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.

Now I can see that ffmpeg is already in the directory where I wanted to ccreate a symbolic link (so that failed). But I can access SSH now. Thank you.
