How to use WinSCP

[1Don]

First i want to say sorry about this topic.
I'm using Hrace009's vbox server and i did some change to my element.data file in client
and i read we can use WinSCP edit those files from server side. But i still don't have any idea about this
I want to know how should i use WinSCP to Edit my server's element.data, gshop.data and server's drop Exp rate
And i dont even know how to log in server using WiSCP

first of all winscp is so that u can copy files from your windows to ubuntu and other way around(it doesnt edit it self any files)
in the host name put the ip of ubuntu :u can get the ip by typing ifconfig in the ubuntu
username and pass the ones u used
rest leave it as it is by default and u should be able to login and u wills ee yourself

Make sure your sftp port is open on your server (either port 21 or 22, I forget.)

you meant i open port on router? hmm i used to be able to connect without open any port before. i think it done with virtual PC not Vbox lol. i will try it now.

EDIT same result, if on the server how do i open port on VBOX? lol

Alright try this, go to your vbox and into the console type:

ufw allow 22

and

apt-get install openssh-server

And then try connect with winSCP.

Also can you get to the pwAdmin page, SERVERIP:8080/pwAdmin?
If you can't it's probably a problem that you have your IP address wrong....

all i did was this

apt-get install openssh-client
apt-get install openssh-server

does everything for me.

username (root)
password whatever you set it too for root

and login with your ip....

will ask you for update of key hit yes.

and your done.
