in10se 3 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi, thanks for the tut. I did this, but all I see is the folder "web" on Synology. I am successfully on it, but I am not seeing root directories. That's why I am asking if you changed something or shared something special to access installation folders?

They say I need to do this to have root access and delete files: https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General/How_to_login_to_DSM_with_root_permission_via_SSH_Telnet But how can I do this? If I do it with PUTTY I am in this weird console. If I open the console in winSCP it doesnt do anything. Do you have an idea how I can execute this command properly in WINSCP?

FrostByte 5049 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 when in putty did it change your prompt to "root" after typing sudo -i ? After you become root in putty then you can navigate and delete using commands like dir, cd, rm etc which you may be familiar with from Windows command prompt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solabc16 379 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hello All It would be better to SSH to the box, then use your file transfer client of choice from the console to grab whatever external resources you need. There are always risks, but if you're doing this then in all likelihood you know what your doing. There's more chance of dragging and dropping something unintentionally with something like WinSCP, especially if you're connecting as root; which could end up being a bad day at the office.
