I recently picked up a Mybook Live 1T drive. I decided I really did need a little NAS in my life. It has a built in media streamer, and lets me define SAMBA shares that can be accessed from my different Windoze machines.
One thing it didn't seem to have was a straightforward way to enable and get to something resembling an HTTP server. I know it's running one, since that interface is serving up the Admin interface for the device, but I couldn't figure out how to get at it. I tediously poked thru all the admin panels looking for a way to enable it for mere mortals, to no avail.
Then I thought maybe I could get in via ssh. Nope, port 22 was blocked. ...sigh.... Enter google. I found a posting that said you could enable ssh by using the Save/Restore config in the Admin interface Utilities panel. I downloaded (saved) the config, changed the ssh line to enabled, and uploaded it and watched the machine reboot. Port 22 waz now open. Yay. I then googled the default password, since it appears the Admin interface password is not root password. It is actually welc0me.
I logged on, and changed my password. I'm in! It looks like it's a Debian powered beast, and has php already enabled.
Happy hacking.
