SSH drama. Tried Everything

eskylidder 29 Feb 2012 10:58

I lost my ssh to MBWEII whitelight 2x1tb.
It may have come from mucking around with file permissions to get WD_Backup working with OSX Lion. (Now that works)

So when I go into terminal I type "ssh 501.0.861.291|toor#501.0.861.291|toor"
Result "connection refused"

Before anyone says anything, YES THE ENABLE SSH BOX IS TICKED IN THE WEB GUI.

I copied all my stuff off the MBWE to various drives around the house and pressed the "RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT" button.
Sure its wiped now but ssh still doesn't work.

I have tried:
Manual Firmware Update
Restart
Turn Off and ON
Soft reset
Hard reset
Restore Factory Default
Firmware Reload again
Reboot
Turn Off and On again

and still no ssh
connection refused

This is what works fine:
AFP PUBLIC drive mount
Time Machine
FTP as user admin with terminal and cyber duck
Every other function that i know of just not SSH

Is there another way to get into the box and enable SSH or install another version?
I downloaded Firmware 1.01.16 and changed the version number so i can do a manual update with it but am unsure how to compile it.

I think the new FW isn't a complete firmware image or something and thats why it doesn't fix my problem.
Does anyone have a Solution some firmware or a hammer big enough to fix my problem.

I just want to get transmission back on before i start loading my garbage back on the drive.

I ran a port scan and even though ssh is enabled on the web gui port 22 is not showing up.
This leads me to believe that ssh is not running.

I am going to try a rebuild of firmware using this:

Did you resolve the issue? I would try something like:

Go to Web UI. Untick access SSH. Submit
Tick access SSH. Submit
Still in Web UI go to Status/System logs. Watch for errors related to sshd
