For some reason, I'm now working on a Synology system. But I can't see any command line tool like terminal on Linux or CMD on Windows within Synology.

Is there any tool to use command line on Synology? If yes, please suggest to me.

Thanks.

You can use your favourite telnet (not recommended) or ssh (recommended) application to connect to your Synology box and use it as a terminal.

  1. Enable the command line interface (CLI) from the Network Services
  2. Define the protocol and the user and make sure the user has password set
  3. Access the CLI
