| + | You can remotely configure the server (to accept public key use) also using another program (Command Prompt) if WinSCP doesn't allow you to upload / modify / create files (for example when you logged as 'admin' and in the right side window of WinSCP you see 'root' as files owner - therefore WinSCP is working now just in read-only mode). Open a Command Prompt console, write 'ssh username@IP' (writing real IP with numbers syntax, like 124.12.0.15) click Enter, write the password, clic Enter. then again, write 'sudo -i' and click Enter, to create a root shell. From now on, you can list files and/or folders, using 'ls /' command, then navigate in server's folder structure, or create folders or files, and so on. That would be useful in order to create '.ssh' folder which is explained further. (In the end, after you finish working in the shell, write 'logout' and click Enter, to close the shell access, then again 'logout' and click Enter, to close the server connection.) | ||
