No main menu after ssh connection

Question

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 ? Thanks Matthew

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/

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 -
