Unable to delete files and folders with tilde (~)
I have a folder with a few ("torrent")files on the Readynas which it seems to be impossible to get rid of. The files in question have one common property; their names all contain a tilde / "~" . ...
I am not too familiar with Windows but another thing you could try to do before you ssh into your NAS is first just try to see if you can rename the file in Windows Explorer (IE: remove the tilde). That works in Linux, so maybe it will in Windows as well.
If not, you do have to enable SSH in the web administration interface. Under System .. Settings .. Services you will need to make sure the SSH toggle is on (will show green line under it if on). Then you can use Putty to ssh to the NAS on the usual port of 22 using root ad the login name and the password will be the same as you use for web admin interface.
