ssh access denied

The login for SSH is 'root' (no quotes) not 'admin'. For SSH to be enabled you need to activate it under System > Settings > Services.

Hi!

I'm having the same problem with ssh. I have an RN312, OS6.2.2 with SSH enabled (System > Settings > Services...green light under SSH).

Trying to log in with either 'root' or 'admin' or my username fails every time. I've used 'Shell in a box' from my ReadyNAS Apps page and also Putty. Running windows 8.1 here.

Any suggestions?

Cheers! =)

Try changing your admin password then try connecting again

Thanks, I tried your suggestion but I still can't connect. Rebooted the RN312 as well which made no difference. Should I just give up trying to access my ReadyNAS with SSH?

Hello,

what is the command that you use when trying to connect? The command in the first post of this thread is incorrect as it is reversed. It should be ssh root@NasIPAdress

It should work with putty. The first time you try connect you have to accept the message concerning the certificate.
The root password is identical to the admin password.

Bye,
Eskender

Good pickup EskenderNG.

Thanks for the tip EskenderNG, but the connection was still refused with the command the correct way around. mdgm was helping me privately, and the action that worked for me was to reinstall the OS via the boot menu. I can now connect both via putty and via 'Shell in a box' on the Apps page.

Thanks very much to both of you for taking the time to help users in need! :worship:

Kind regards,

Rob.

Just a man. Glad I could help.
