Ready NAS Duo V2 - Login via SSH (Putty) results in "Connection closed by remote host" error splash

Howdy. Trying to access Duo V2 by SSH using putty. Login works (usename and password correct) but immediately get error message "Connection closed by remote host". I am obviously missing something simple so I hope someone can point me in the correct direction!

 

Thanks in advance. David

    You do need to log in as root using the NAS admin password.  Is that what you are doing?

      I had been logging in as one of the users, but after your response I tried using the admin login and password but I had the same error message.

        Now after realizing you meant to use root as the login name it is working. Thanks for that!
