Check Enable SSH service and set your port.


Open Terminal (Mac) (on Windows machine open CMD (Command Prompt) or PuTTY program for instance) and type:

ssh username_on_nas@NAS_ip -pSSH_post_number

Tap Enter.


Example:
ssh [email protected] -p22

Another suggestion: SSH and SFTP don't have to have the same port. If you configure SSH on port XXX and SFTP on YYY then SSH will reject connections on YYY and vice versa.

So if you must use SFTP from the Internet then you don't have to expose command line access to SSH.
 
for Win based users:
MobaXterm
it’s portable and also desktop ver.
include graphical SFTP browser, it will automatically pop up in order to directly edit your remote files and many others useful (not just SSH) features in single box
and free for common usage
