Hi guys it’s Joe KA6JOE,
I am not able to access Supermon 7.4 using the WinSCP and I wanted to copy a file from my local pc to a local server /var/www/html/supermon/. I just want to change the Supermon background image to something else not so boring like the original background.jpg.
I am not familiar with the Linux SCP command line. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Let me reprase my query again: I am not able to access Supermon 7.4 using the WinSCP
What do you mean by “access”? Can you not log in? What username are you logging in as?
You need root access and SUDO to access copying to the var/www/html/supermon directory. Supermon itself it ran from a browser.
when you bring up winscp for your node. click on edit then click Advanced under Enviroment you will see SFTP
on the line for the Server place the following:
sudo su -c /usr/lib/sftp-server
click ok then save it and then try copying it over. remember you have to unlock ssh for root access. make sure to resecure when done.
I am trying to copy a file to /var/www/html/supermon/ but I get this error.
![Error Code 3 Permission denied.
