Re: PermitRootLogin = No ; switch user to root through WinSCP
however we are afraid that this cannot solve our request... we wish to change the user to root through WinSCP in similar way as we do in the terminal emulator that is as follows ...
- login as sysadmin user (provide username and password)
- su - root
- provide root password
WinSCP cannot prompt for a root password due to constraints imposed by the SFTP/SCP protocols and
su
implementation. Otherwise the procedure is the same.
