Terminal window from QNAP deskop

[robinaspey]

Hi,
this is probably quite lazy but I really would like to just be able to click on an icon on QTS to get to the command line rather than having to go through Putty.
While I'm sure some will say its a vulnerability, is there a way to do this?

The reason I want to do this is to be able to setup a link to the root of the shares where my data is, in order to be able to run find or something similar
to check for duplicates and produce a report.

I am thinking also, it may be worth installing Linux as a virtual machine to do this.

But the features I would like from QNAP are:
1. command line access from QTS directly.
2. a utilitiy with GUI to produce lists of duplicate files and allow me to delete the ones I dont want.
3. I can do the above already, but it involves messing around mounting shares and running windows
tools.
4. I would like QNAP to also be able to on shedule produce a list of files of a pre-specified type with
the locations of all duplicates. Mostly this is to remove photos and video clips but generally anywhere
there is duplicate content, ideally including duplicate directories.

So you want to access SSH by logging onto QTS via a browser, and then clicking on an icon. (2 steps)

why no do away with logging onto QTS?

Create a shortcut that calls putty and logs on via your PC? (1 step and very lazy)

4, create a cron job that calls a script to check duplicate files and pipe the output to a file.

If you need a ssh web client instead of putty you can use KeyBox (or shellinabox, Gotty or other services).

For duplicate, we have asked QNAP to add a find duplicates feature in Qsirch... hopeing that it will be eventually implemented.

By the way, how are you planning to check duplicates? I mean, which script will you use?

For last point cron is your friend.

I come back here to say that it would be good if QNAP release a container based on a light Linux distribution (e.g. Alpine) from where we could have a terminal window which could access to the QTS system from within QTS GUI.

I know that it is possible, and I think this should be released as a Beta Tool in the QNAP App Center as it may be handy when you have to do a quick line command modification on the fly.

Trouble starts with the fact that the Web based remote access ie. to VNC is a pain to work on a shell, in an editor, ... and to gain GUI-like access you need VNC port(s) exposed. Lot of effort for a less than average result.

Curious on how much "lighter" Alpine should be than the Linux Station.

I suggest to use <snip> its a helpful program.

Removal and banning is not enough - abuse must be reported to the ISP and SFS.

if they do not use TOR or VPN's to mask where they are actually coming from (china,india,etc)
