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

Here is the error for log,

Jul 18 09:44:09 localhost sshd[22589]: ROOT LOGIN REFUSED FROM xx.xxx.xx.xxx
Jul 18 09:44:09 localhost sshd[22589]: PAM rejected by account configuration[12]: Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required.
Jul 18 09:44:09 localhost sshd[22589]: Failed password for root from xx.xxx.xx.xxx port 53320 ssh2
Jul 18 09:44:09 localhost sshd[22589]: fatal: monitor_read: unsupported request: 24

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

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?
