Wow! I had no idea you needed to do that. Awesome that you figured it out.

Now that I know this, I think you _could_ have found out by using FileZilla or CyberDuck to connect, as it would show the paths.

I do recall that Synology monkey patches `sshd` with some login integration. It sounds like they patched `sftp` as well such that it does not expose the `/volume` stuff, which is really confusing as they have not (and could not) patch normal `ssh` access the same way.
