YOUR_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your GoFlex Home on your LAN, something like 192.168.0.6 or 10.0.0.6 depending on your router. Update: If you have reflashed with the firmware I made available for download then the "Product Code" is Make sure you use hyphens between the 4-digit blocks of the product key and underscores everywhere else. You can also get it by clicking the About GoFlex Home link in the bottom left corner of the Seagateshare web page. XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is your 16-digit product key which you can find on a label on the base of your GoFlex Home. ![]() In the Host Name (or IP Address) field USERNAME is the user name of an administrator account on your GoFlex Home. Note: Windows 10 now has an inbuilt SSH client - see link below for more details, but I'll keep using PuTTY. Update: sadly, it looks like the OpenStora website is no longer accessible.Īnyway, since most people use Windows I'll talk about PuTTY, but the process is pretty much the same using terminal or any client app.Īccessing the firmware let's you do all kinds of things you can't do otherwise but it can also be potentially data destructive so you should read my disclaimer before you start. There's a lot of very useful information on their site and well worth a look. The guys at Open Stora do a fantastic job but apart from their time, hosting the site costs money, so there's no guarantee that it will always be there. I usually just link to the Open Stora wiki pages Easy Root Access but I've leaned not to rely on external sites. Update: Android now has an excellent SSH client app: JuiceSSH is full featured and works brilliantly. For UNIX machines like Mac OS and Linux you can use the inbuilt "Terminal" application. To send commands to the GoFlex Home with SSH, you need a client application on the remote PC. ![]() Since it doesn't have input devices or a display, if you want to run operating system commands then you need another computer and a way to connect and that's where Secure Shell or SSH comes in. OK, so it doesn't have a display or input devices like a mouse or keyboard, but it does have it's own Linux Operating System in 256 MB NAND flash storage, 128MB RAM and I/O ports (gigabit ethernet, SATA and USB). First things first the GoFlex Home isn't an external hard drive, it's a stand-alone computer with a hard drive.
