Step 2Connect via SSH
Connect to your FreeNAS box via SSH. Normally it's bad practice to log in as root, but if you're really careful, things should go smoothly.
PuTTy is pretty self explanatory here for connecting. For the command line people, type:
ssh -l username static_ip_of_freenas
The static ip will be something like 192.168.x.xxx.
It will ask for a password, but when you type, nothing shows up. Don't worry, this is normal (hides password for security purposes); just type it and hit enter.
You should now have yourself a little greeting and a new command prompt (loggin in as root is freenas:~# and as a user is >)

I am introducing the FreeNAS static IP in Putty.exe and I got an error: "Network error: Connection refused." What am I doing wrong?!

Go into the Web GUI for FreeNAS, Services->SSH, and make sure it's enabled.
