The box makes itself known as diskstation.local resp. DiskStation on my LAN. (Reliability \u2026)<\/p>\n

Of course it deserves a “1 Gbit\/s” on my FRITZ!Box.<\/p>\n

The box’s OS is BusyBox; here are a few more details:<\/p>\n

DiskStation> uname -a<\/span>
Linux DiskStation 2.6.32.12 #2668 SMP Tue Dec 11 13:01:16 CST 2012 ppc GNU\/Linux synology_qoriq_213+<\/span><\/p>\n

\nI enabled SSH access<\/b> for my personal user account rather soon, but the SSH login was not instantly successful. I tried “ssh -v”, and from there the login seriously looked, as if it was almost successful. My web research wasn’t successful either. Rather desperately I enabled “telnet access”; I tried to log in, and this was the result:<\/p>\n

\nlogin: can’t run \/sbin\/nologin: No such file or directory<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was clear then, that the default shell in the \/etc\/passwd entry for my user account was in my way \/sbin\/nologin so far. I made \/bin\/ash the default shell and everything was fine. Of course, I disabled telnet access again thereafter. And of course, once I added “nologin” to my web query, I found a few articles describing the issue.<\/p>\n

SCP works; “rsync over ssh” (with my personal user account) does not work yet:<\/p>\n

\n$ rsync -va –rsh=’ssh -l root’ \/etc\/motd diskstation:tmp\/ # works<\/span>$ rsync -va \/etc\/motd diskstation:tmp\/ # fails
\nsending incremental file list
\nERROR: module is read only
\nrsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1034) [Receiver=3.0.8]
\nrsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
\nrsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.8]<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nFiddling with\u00a0\/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config<\/span> \u2013 I really don’t know, what to change in order to overcome this obstacle.<\/div>\n

Perl is not part of its standard equipment, but Python apparently is,<\/p>\n

Through their Download Center I found this FTP server <\/span>link<\/span><\/a>. You can find various software for their boxes on their. There are also Perl installation packages, but the ones I tried are not for the current firmware release of “my” box, and in a way I am not up for an upgrade to beta software for my NAS.<\/p>\n

(For now I summarised here everything I have tried so far, so I will be able to procede from here.)<\/p>\n
