Correct on this moment it is not possible to disable it using the webinterface. We never considered that this could be an option wanted by users. In principle you could disabled it shutting down the ssh server (dropbear) but you will need to repeat this after every boot.
We will consider if we will implement starting and stopping ssh via webinterface for next version

In my opinion, we do not need to add this option.
Currently, I think not many users won't want to do it...

So for users like jgracia, they should use a boot cron job to kill dropbear after nas booting what it is easy to do.

Hi

if it is your intention you should also stop the web server :o as there is a web console which allows to do pretty the same actions as you open a shell terminal ! :mrgreen:

To stop dropbear, you just need to enable the cron boot feature and to create a shell file with this line :
Code: Select all
killall dropbear
