robs

solution is to assign at root one pw and after login how root;
I not know if so there are some problems in the use ogf ubuntu;

I also tested options in the WinSCP where is possible to set the protocol sudo su .. but not work;
robs

@webdev: can you explain better this

The admins created a group with access and put my username in it instead. This way, I don't need to be root.

I insert myusername inner the group root but not work;
example I am user robs, when I does login have this by PuTTY:
robs@host:
and am here (command pwd)
/home/rob

To make some operation I must use sudo

If I write sudo su I can access as root
[m:c2249224a2]root@host-ubuntu:~#
[/m:c2249224a2]
and am here
/root
How you suggest I insert (me) user robs inner the group root
adduser robs root

But with WinSCP have always the same error of Permission

Can you write steps steps how to solve?

What's odd is that it used to work – using shell sudo bash1. But I got it to work without setting anything under SFTP or Shell. The admins created a group with access and put my username in it instead. This way, I don't need to be root.

WinSCP and sudo /bin/bash1

I have been using WinSCP to connect, upload, and edit files to a secure Redhat Linux server for some time now. Recently it stopped working for some reason – I am able to connect, but I cannot upload or edit files like I used to. I think this is a sudo issue as I am getting the
error 3: permission denied

I am able to sudo /bin/bash1 to root using PuTTY. The only special setting I have (that worked before) is SCP/Shell>Shell: sudo bash1. I have also tried sudo /bin/bash1 to no avail. Any ideas?
