Well if it doesn't have ssh, then my comment about configuring sshd doesn't apply. You have to figure out, with absolute precision, exactly what software you are using to connect. Then look up the docs for that software.

cachefslog

cachefslog(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    cachefslog(1M)

NAME

       cachefslog - Cache File System logging

SYNOPSIS

       cachefslog [-f logfile | -h]  cachefs_mount_point

DESCRIPTION

       The  cachefslog	command displays where CacheFS statistics are being logged. Optionally, it sets where CacheFS statistics are being logged,
       or it halts logging for a cache specified by cachefs_mount_point. The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system.
       All file systems cached under the same cache as cachefs_mount_point will be logged.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported. You must be super-user to use the -f and -h options.

       -f logfile      Specify the log file to be used.

       -h	       Halt logging.

OPERANDS

       cachefs_mount_point     A mount point of a cache file system.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cachefslog when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Checking the Logging of a directory.

       The example below checks if the directory /home/sam is being logged:

       example% cachefslog /home/sam
       not logged: /home/sam

       Example 2: Changing the logfile.

       The example below changes the logfile of  /home/sam to /var/tmp/samlog:

       example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam
       /var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam

       Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile.

       The example below verifies the change of the previous example:

       example% cachefslog /home/sam
       /var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam

       Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory.

       The example below halts logging for the /home/sam directory:

       example# cachefslog -h /home/sam
       not logged: /home/sam

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       success

       non-zero        an error has occurred.
