ssh will not show up as a addon in the addon pages.
To ssh into you box you need a ssh program most use putty. Google putty it is easy to download.
After you install it and run it fill out the appropriate information:
Host name: loacl ip address of nas ( you can use the external ip but that involves setting up your router to port forward and if you are not managing a farm of nas or clients the local will do, it also opens up a host of security issues.
port: 22
connection type: ssh
Your user id will be: root
Your password will be: what ever your admin password is at the current time you installed ssh.
Good luck be careful on what you type, it is also case sensitive too.
I've had this problem for quite some time now and it seems as if there's no easy solution to it. I downloaded the latest update of ReadyDLNA, hoping that this would be the solution, but hell no. That didn't do it.
I've checked various threads on this forum, all describing the same issue, yet there doesn't seem to be a 100% fix to the problem. At least no until I came across this thread where it is explained in a very detailed way. This could be the solution for the problem, but it is worrying to see that if you aren't fully aware of what you're doing, the end result might cause you even bigger problems...
How is it that the update for the ReadyNAS product cause this problem (it started for me after the latest RAID update), and the enduser is left to try to solve it with tools that most users aren't comfortable with or even capable of using? Shouldn't the solution be handled and solved by Netgear?
It's utterly bad to see the amount of posts on this issue and yet when you turn to Hardware support, they really can't help you solve the matter.
Question for me is if I should take the risk of trying to solve it using the SSH client, which I have no idea what it is, or if I should just leave it and not use the NAS for the reason I bought it - to stream video...
