How to connect to synology NAS through terminal

I figured out that my external hard drive I used for the NAS was not supported, so I got a supported one and it works!

Now I am here:

How do I cd /Volumes/MyNAS or ssh MyNAS so I can start uploading data from my other /Volumes/MyPassport 1 harddrives onto the NAS, and start using data? What is the proper workflow and configuration?

I have tried to ssh <ip> to the IP address shown in the browser window with the password I just defined during setup, but it says permission denied. (I pasted the password into SSH, not typed, if that matters).

enter image description here

Where do I find the IP I should be ssh-ing into? Or is there a way to just directly CD into it? Do I want to enable FTP SSH or rsync or anything like that?

The goal would be to use the files like I would on my laptop: I want to stream some gzipped JSON currently to parse it (wikidump, 90+GB).


Solution 1:

  1. In the network configuration you look for the IP
  2. In the Terminal and SNMP section you enable the ssh and choose a port
  3. The syntax to connect is: ssh user@host -p port

*the port is the port you choose in configuration **use the builtin admin or another "Administrator Member"
