I have My Book World Edition II network drive with 2 HDD-s inside set in RAID 1. Dashboard is working fine and I can access files on the drive through my local network. After the factory restore I cannot access the drive via SSH anymore though I enabled and saved it again in MBW dashboard after factory restore. When I try to access the drive via SSH with PuTTY I get an error. I scanned MBW ports with LanSpy and it showed that 22 port which is used for SSH connection by default is not opened. I haven’t changed SSH default port number so it is really weird, because it actually should be opened since the SSH access is enabled in the dashoard. Seems that changes in the dashboard do not affect the drive. I took on of the HDD-s out of the box and connected it via SATA interface to PC with Linux. I was able to mount it and got access to its operation system files, same as if I would access it it remotely with some SFTP program (for example WinSCP).
My question now is: Is it possible to enable SSH access somewhere in MBW configuration files or scripts on Linux PC, so that when I put the drive back to the box 22 port will be opened and SSH access will work again?
Does anyone know where is located the file or script in My Book World network drive which enables or disables SSH access in the dashboard? Just need to know the exact path to this file, thats all.
I found the following configuration file here: /proto/SxM_webui/admin/config.xml
There is the following line in it: yes
If I write there “no” instead of “yes”(no) and save changes then in dahboard it starts showing that SSH access is disabled (unticked), but it doesn’t abort SSH connection and actually SSH port 22 is still enabled=(
But when I change SSH access from dashboard this line is modified in the same way, but it at the same time it opens and closes port 22. So there is somethign else to be modified except this configuration file to enable/disable SSH connection.
I also found the following script: /proto/SxM_webui/admin/system_advanced.php which seems to start when you change SSH status in dahboard.
I don’t own a MBW but I would assume the process is close. If it says file not found, browse around in /etc/init.d for some sort of SSH file and make the appropriate changes to the above command.
May I ask what you are trying to accomplish if you can turn it on and off via the dashbard?
