Download an SSH Public Key File
Every ReadyNAS system generates a public and a private SSH key. Before another system can connect
to your ReadyNAS system through SSH, you must download and share the public key.
SSH must be enabled before you can download the key.You enable SSH in the same SSH Settings window
from which you download the key, so you can do both at the same time.
To download the public key file:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS system.
2. Select System > Settings > Services > SSH.
3. Click the Download SSH key file button.
A window opens in your browser for selecting and downloading a file.
4. Follow your browser s procedure to save the file.
5. Click the Apply button or the Cancel button to close the SSH Settings window.
Configure a User Account to Use SSH
Before a user can use SSH, for example for remote backups, you must configure the user account for SSH.
To add SSH usage to a user account:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select Accounts > Users.
The page updates and shows the list of users.
