Hello,
I can connect and login to my Sophos UTM (9.711-5) with putty (ssh).But the "Main menu" does not display.I'd like to access the Device Console.Can someone help me ?ThanksMatthew
Hello Matthew,
there are two user-accounts, that allow access via SSH: loginuser and root.
The normal way is to login with "loginuser", who has minimal privileges and then to switch to "root" with su -

Hello jprusch,Thank you for your answer.I have already tried "su -" (or "sudo su - root") but there is no "Main Menu" in order to get "Device Console".I can't use 'system' command in the prompt without acessing "Device Console" before.Best regards from FranceMatthew
Salut,
I think you are confusing things between Sophos UTM (SG) and Sophos firewall (aka XG / XGS).
What you showed us is the console of an UTM system.
There you have shell commands like these: https://martinsblog.dk/sophos-utm-usefull-shell-commands/
