Enabling SSH on Your MyCloud PR4100

The MyCloud PR4100 is a powerful storage device that offers advanced features for managing your files and data. One of these features is Secure Shell (SSH), which allows administrators to access the device remotely through command-line operations. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to enable SSH on your MyCloud PR4100 device.

Accessing the Settings Menu

To start, log in to your MyCloud PR4100 Dashboard and click on the 'Settings' button located at the top of the navigation bar. This will take you to a page where you can configure various settings for your device.

Enabling SSH

Once you are in the Settings menu, scroll down until you find the section labeled 'Advanced Settings.' Here, you will see an option called 'SSH Access' or 'Enable SSH.' Click on this option to toggle it ON. This will enable SSH access to your MyCloud PR4100 device.

Important Notes

Before proceeding, please note that modifying operating system files is not recommended and may cause issues with your device's performance. Additionally, the Western Digital Technical Support Team does not support the use of SSH or command-line operations on the MyCloud PR4100 device. Enabling SSH provides advanced users and support personnel with access to the device in situations where the Dashboard is inaccessible.

Using SSH

Once you have enabled SSH access, you can use a SSH client (such as PuTTY on Windows) to connect to your MyCloud PR4100 device. This will allow you to perform command-line operations and manage your device remotely. The MyCloud PR4100 device allows administrators to securely access the device through the SSH protocol, making it easier to troubleshoot issues or perform routine maintenance tasks.

By following these steps, you can enable SSH on your MyCloud PR4100 device and gain advanced control over your storage device. Remember to exercise caution when modifying operating system files and seek support from Western Digital Technical Support Team if you encounter any issues with your device.
