SSH connection closed

[imagiro1]

I've enabled SSH. But every time I log in, the connection is closed. What gives?

[chirpa]

Use login 'root', not 'admin'.

[imagiro1]

I'm using root and my admin password. I haven't created any other users, so it's the only password I have. When I try to login, it says my password it wrong. There's no way I could have typed it in wrong this many times.

I have enabled SSH in services. Do I need to enable anything else?

Thanks.

Got it!

Hi!!
For my part I don't get it..
Which password do I have with root???

Thanks a lot!

The same password you use with admin to login to the readynas GUI.
What nas do you have?
How are you trying to ssh in? Putty?
What are you trying to do using ssh?

[liodra]

I have a ReadyNAS104.
I'm trying to connect via Terminal in OSX.
I want to use SSH to connect as an admin when I'm not on the local network and also modify some files (for Transmission for example)

[vandermerwe]

ssh root@ip.address.of.nas

Obviously put in the IP address of your 104

Then your password is the same as the GUI login password

Are you aware of the support implications of using ssh?

Have you upgraded to 6.2.0?

[liodra]

Well it's not working when I put this password...

[vandermerwe]

Have you enabled ssh on the Nas?
I added some questions to my previous post.
Are the Mac and the NAS on the same LAN?

[liodra]

Yes I'm in 6.2.0 and SSH is activated.
What are the support implications?

[vandermerwe]

If you have a problem with the Nas you may be denied support if you have altered things using ssh .
Perhaps reboot the Nas and the Mac.
Have you got a pc to try putty?

[liodra]

Ah okay I knew that 🙂
I rebooted it several times, still doing nothing. More than that when I want to turn off the NAS, it's not always working and I have to do a "hard turn off"...
I don't have a pc but I have bootcamp, I'll try.

[vandermerwe]

Try changing the password in the GUI

[liodra]

Well that worked! And I put the same password...
Thank you so much!

If you have a transmission share, be aware that you should ensure that copy on write is disabled for that share. Netger advises against it.
Make sure you have a backup.

In terminal type "ssh root@ip.address.of.READYNAS" It will give you the correct login name to apply the PW to.
