Synology DSM7.0

[simoncn]

Thanks very much for your willingness to help resolve this issue.

Before you can login to the Synology DSM terminal window, you need to go to DSM Control Panel and select Terminal and SNMP. On the Terminal tab, put a check mark next to Enable SSH service and click Apply.

You also need to know the IP address of your NAS. You can find this by selecting Network from DSM Control Panel. On the Network Interface tab, you will find the IP address next to LAN 1. On my NAS it is 192.168.0.20.

You should now be able to login from your Mac by opening a Terminal window and typing the command:

Code:

ssh -l username x.x.x.x

with username replaced with your Synology NAS username and x.x.x.x replaced with the IP address of your NAS. If you receive a message about authenticity and asking if you want to continue connecting, enter 'yes'. Now enter your password and you should see something like this:

Code:

Synology strongly advises you not to run commands as the root user, who has
the highest privileges on the system. Doing so may cause major damages
to the system. Please note that if you choose to proceed, all consequences are
at your own risk.

Could not chdir to home directory /var/services/homes/username: No such file or directory

You can now copy and paste the command into the Terminal window by highlighting the following text and typing Command+C, then clicking on the Terminal window and typing Command+V.

Code:

export SYNOPKG_PKGNAME=MinimServer && sh -x /var/packages/MinimServer/scripts/start-stop-status status

It is best not to try retyping the command as it is easy to mistype something accidentally. After this, press the Return key.

The Terminal window should now contain the command output (about 25 lines of text). Please copy this text and paste it into a post here.

To logout from the DSM terminal session, type 'exit' and press the Return key.

Many thanks for your help with this.
