Once you are in and have made SSHD permanent then you will want to start tinkering.
Next up I would get a decent text editor since VI is not terrible intuitive and certainly not newbie-friendly, so login as root or su into it and then go to the location you want to compile, if you are not sure then I suggest:
# su !enter your password for root # mkdir /tmp/myfiles # cd /tmp/myfiles
In order to get nano compiled, I had to install a version of curses. I used ncurses from gnu.
# wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.6.tar.gz # tar -zxvf ncurses-5.6.tar.gz # cd ncurses-5.6 # ./configure # make # make install
You can get rid of the source files now.
# cd .. # rm -rf ncurses-5.6*
Next download and uncompress the nano editor source files.
# wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.0/nano-2.0.8.tar.gz # tar -zxvf nano-2.0.8.tar.gz
Next, go to the directory it was just uncompressed to and compile and install it
# cd nano-2.0.8 # ./configure # make # make install # cd .. # rm -rf nano-2.0.8*
And thats it !! all you need to do now is type nano filename to open and edit your files using this editor.
if you find this doesn't work, per dean's comments on the reference, install ncurses first:
After that the configure/make/make install for nano worked fine.
If you want to create new share folders and control network permissions then I suggest using the web-interface provided. But if you want to access these folders from the shell then they are located in
also remember that Linux is case sensitive so to access the default share folder of PUBLIC then type the following
# cd /shares/internal/PUBLIC/
You may find if you are not logged in as root that you can't access them so su in and change the folder permissions using (for the default share folder again)
# chmod 755 PUBLIC
