Cannot login as root to Synology NAS DiskStation 5.1

2014-11-08 15:15

WinSCP 5.1.5 and 5.6.2
Windows 8.1
Protocol: SCP
GUI, with either interface style
Trying to login as root to Synology NAS, after the upgrade to DiskStation 5.1
Errors:

Host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds; after aborting: Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).
"Optimize connection buffer size" has no effect

Changing Shell from default has no effect
Note: PuTTY with SSH continues to work with 5.1, SCP worked with DiskStation 5.0 and stopped with 5.1.
Logs attached.

DSM 5.1/WinSCP problem [SOLVED]

Change Shell setting in WinSCP to /bin/ash (NOT /bin/bash). If you continue to have trouble, try also changing permissions on BusyBox: chmod 04755 /bin/busybox. Regards.
