anyone has this issue of not able to SSH into the device after every restart? when i try to run /ffp/start/sshd.sh start...it will prompt me

Generating public/private ecdsa key pair.
/ffp/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key already exists.

Overwrite (y/n)?

selecting either options "y"/"n" will just fail

Can you list the content of /ffp/var/lib by typing: ls -l /ffp/var/lib and post the output here.

Do this, type: chmod 600 /ffp/var/lib/sshd/ and run the sshd script again.

Most if not all of Transmission settings can be change via its webUI or 3rd party client.

Just got myself a 320L and have been following the instructions at DNS-320 -FunPlug 0.7 + Transmission for the installation of fun plug and transmission.

There are some amendments to the guide to get it working for the 320L as experienced by some memebers in this thread. Thought I share my experience here for the benefit of others.

1. ssh login will work for the first time. But after reboot, there will be a connection refused error. Need to do the following as discovered by LX2010

Add:
chmod 600 /ffp/var/lib/sshd/
chmod 600 /ffp/etc/ssh/ssh_*

just before the line “proc_start $command”

in the file ffp/start/sshd.sh

2. Latest transmission version has changed from 2.52 in the klseet guide. So need to amend the filename accordingly when entering commands

3. Transmission should launch. Need to fix permissions as advised by albertlee
Create /ffp/etc/fun_plug.local and add the following:
chmod 0664 /dev/random /dev/urandom

4. All is not well yet. web gui will crash soon after giving cannot connect to server error. As advised by http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=5627

edit /ffp/start/transmission.sh
replace: su $user -c "$command -f" with su $user -c "EVENT_NOEPOLL=1 $command -f"

Afternote: I am still getting error after step 4. If I set the variable EVENT_NOEPOLL manually, it will work but once I restart it will be lost. Need to research more.

Afternote 2:
Decided to add the variable after transmission start instead.

transmission_start()
{
EVENT_NOEPOLL=1; export EVENT_NOEPOLL
if [ ! -d ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} ]; then

Hope this helps fellow forumers!

What's the typical write speed from desktop to NAS like if the DNS-320L setup is RAID1 5400rpm HDD?

I agreed with you, the stock firmware is kind of buggy when compared to DNS-320.
Actually I didn't really encounter any bugs. The basic NAS functions like SMB, NFS, P2P all work out of the box. In fact I am quite impressed with the cloud features as compared to the 320.

Well, then how is it that there are issues with FFP (SSHd) and even Transmission as highlighted by you when it worked fine on DNS-320?

I don't call them bugs as it was never the intention for it to run transmission and ssh. The default apps all works.

The transmission issue also occurred with a number of other NAS.
