I figured it out so I’m posting the solution for anyone thats interested. I’m doing this because the WDMyCloud.com website uses WinDAV but its SLLLOOOW!! So I’m mounting my MyCloud as a system drive out side the house and for security purposes I didn’t feel right using the root user.
-
open putty
-
type and execute
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-
Scroll down to the line that says “AllowUsers root”
-
add a space and your username to the end of the line.
Example: AllowUsers root agustin
-
Press Ctrl+O, Enter , Ctrl+X
-
Now type and execute the following line to refresh or “restart” the ssh service.
sudo service ssh restart
your user should now have ssh access minus root permissions
