I would suggest you to check PermitRootLogin in your server configuration.

Then you need to check the server's log to see why it closes the connection.

yes thats correct, :(
the log says "Access granted" then
* (ESshFatal) Authentication failed
I feel a bit lame but I have been over and over this .. I must be missing something

Re: changed root pw
I'm not sure if I understand the problem. You have changed root password on the server, changed the password to the same in WinSCP session and it does not connect?
