Apologies for this – but I’ve stumbled across the command that enables an SSH session to run on my SS4000-E storage server. With thanks to kevinsloan, the command is:

https://IP-address/ssh_controlF.cgi

From this I’ve discovered it is indeed a Falconstor IPStor disk server, which is based on Debian Linux apparently – according to this chap. I was hoping to be able to Wake on Lan (out of sheer laziness – and to ensure network backups take place)… but it might even be possible to configure the box as an iTunes server.

Update: instructions in German, here.

How the winter evenings will fly by.
