You will be prompted for username (admin) and password (admin).

Using PUTTY you simply enter the IP address or Hostname and click the 'Open' button. You may also use the hostname instead of the IP address if known. The shell on the QNAP uses a reduced set of Linux commands so some alternative approaches need to be taken. Once connected you will be at a Linux type command prompt (BusyBox). You will be then prompted for the password (default admin). Ssh will attempt to connect to the QNAP (in our example at ip address 192.168.1.10) using user admin. To connect to the QNAP from a Linux or Mac terminal session use the following commands: Our eaxmple uses 192.168.1.10 as the device address - replace this with the IP address of your QNAP NAS as displayed in the 'QNAP Finder' application:Īn alternative syntax combines the username and hostname: e.g. Use the QNAP Finder application to find the ip address of the QNAP or the QNAP hostname.

On a Linux or Mac computer you may use the native command ssh from a Terminal (on a Mac see the Terminal within Utilities in Finder). On a PC you will need a SSH terminal client such as PUTTY - see These instructions are intended for people comfortable using a command line interface.
