Where did you turn the ransomware protection off? On a server or on a client?

I ended up turning off the Windows Ransomware protection and it now allows the modification. How would I go about making it where I can keep ransomware on but allow WinSCP to modify?

So after hours of trying to debug I still can't figure out why I can't modify any type of file within WinSCP. It has worked for all other hosting services that I have used.

I have tried:

• Opening port 22
  
• Installing OpenSSH
  
• Changing permissions on the server
  
• Changing owners
  
• Modifying the OpenSSH config
  

I am signed in through the administrator account on the server with WinSCP on my home computer.
