    Winscp permission denied

    I'm trying to modify media files. Winscp worked fine with HS3 but now with HS4 I get "Permission denied" when I try to add or delete files. I've seen this issue mentioned elsewhere but is there a simple solution for someone with no Linux experience.
    Many thanks

    What platform are you running HS4 on.

    If it’s Linux based and you are just copying or moving files around use PuTTY from your Windows machine. The cp command will copy a file, the mv command will move a file to another location and the rm command will delete a file.

    I’m guessing you’re connection using SCP does not have root privileges. If you supply a little more detail on your setup I can point you in the right direction.

        Could you give me an example of what you are doing on the Hometroller. I’m assuming you are dragging/dropping files and deleting files from certain folders using SCP.

        You’ve a lot more control over your Linux file system on the Hometroller using PuTTY. Have you ever used it.

        I don’t use SCP but you will need the root user name and password of your Hometroller when signing on in order to carry out administrative functions. What user name and password are you using.

        Have a look at this post for further details https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...to-hometroller

          That's pretty much it. Moving, deleting files, uploading from Windows. I'll look at what you've given me, try to figure it out and get back to you.
          Thanks for the help.

              Which route did you go. Did you use the simple Linux commands via PuTTY or change your login credentials with SCP

                I downloaded PuTTy and modified the root level password. After I get a few hundred events sorted (new house) out I'll play with it some more.
