Hi everybody,

I am new to the community but very glad that I have discovered it!

In an effort to establish a a secure remote access to files and Web GUI on TrueNAS, I have followed the steps in the following post on our community:
"https://www.truenas.com/community/t...ure-remote-access-to-files-and-web-gui.89229/"

I am scratching my head with a crazy problem though at this step "Now to test if SSH has been successfully enabled".
When reaching " excluding the first line that beings with ssh" not very clear as mine there is nothing in front of the "ssh".
When I run Putty a new black window appears and as I put "root" and enter, either of these two errors happens: 1) "host key did not appear in manually configured list"
2) once the black window appears and I enter root then "server refused our key".

The best Christmas gift for me is to get my NAS remotely accessible, so I am looking forward to hearing your feedbacks/supports.
Please help me so I can get thing going as well.

Many thanks,
Hamimi

You do this by setting up a VPN server and connecting to it. Anything else is unlikely to end well.
