Re: My root have other name

OK, it might not be clear: It is restriction of the most of the servers (shells), it is not missing functionality of WinSCP. I cannot do anything with it.

Edit 2021: See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_su

Re: My root have other name

This was asked many times in the forum. Please use search function. In short: it is not possible to execute commands that require user input with session without terminal emulation (WinSCP case).

My root have other name

Hello, mi root have other name because the security

When I enter in WinSCP I don't have permissions to modify the httpdconf.

In PuTTY I write su and root password because in the WinSCP terminal it say:
$ su

standard in must be a tty
(which su - not found )

And y didn't enter like root.

How enter like root in my server?

Excuse me for my English, I'm Spanish.
