7.3 Remote Filemanagement/ Fileediting on Windows with WinSCP
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
WinSCP is a „must have" tool.
WinSCP is a free Windows application that allows
- upload/download files (binary/text/auto) like a ftp client but encrypted
- edit /find files on your server (you can use different editors for differen filetypes)
- delete/copy/move files (not as fast as Midnight Commander as files must be transferred encrypted over LAN)
- check/modify Unix permissions and ownership
To use WinSCP you must enable SSH on OmniOS. This is the case per default but per default only allows that
regular users can login, not root. An option is to enable remote root access in the napp-it Web-GUI in menu
„Services >> SSH >> allow root". As this can be a security problem, you should disable remote root afterwards
with menu „Services >> SSH >> deny root" .
Tips:
When you connect as root, you have full permissions to edit all files on OmniOS including systemfiles.
This makes Unix magagement a lot easier as you can manage remotely from Windows and do not need
to use ancient editors like vi.
