andcbii 12 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I was struggling to figure out how to view and edit the emby files (config files and logs) that were saved on the NAS. I have very little experience with the CLI and though this info would be helpful to other who don't like to use the CLI. If you don't care about editing the emby files you can simply download WinSCP. Step 1: Enable SSH on your NAS Step 2: SSH into your NAS with root access This is the tricky part. Step 3: We are going to edit the sudo config on your NAS. we are going to set it so you don't have type in your password twice, which inturn lets an app call WinSCP get root access to your nas. I followed these instructions here. Here what it looked like when i did it. Picture one showing root acces s Type vi /etc/sudoers Should look like this: NOTE: My file looks different that yours because I've already edited it. This is what it should look like when you are done! Now you have the file open, but you need to turn on editing. Type i At this point you should be able to use your arrow keys to scroll through the file. arrow down and switch: %administrators ALL=(ALL) ALL to: #%administrators ALL=(ALL) ALL Arrow down again and type: %administrators ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL Hit ESC to exit edit mode (insert mode): ESC Now save: :w !sudo tee % Now Exit VI ZZ Again these instructions are borrowed from here. You can verify this worked by typing in: vi /etc/sudoers again to view the file and quit by typing: ZZ Step 4: download WinSCP from here Step 5: Open WinSCP and enter your NAS settings like this: Step 6: Click "Advanced" and set Shell to "sudo su -" and click 'OK" Step 7: Enter your password and login. You now have a nice GUI to view all the cig files and you copy and paste files directly to your NAS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
