Ftp, get full access

Hi how do I get full access to the server using a ftp program (filezilla) can logon as normal but cant access all folders. and cant access some folders using putty?

Using it for personal use.
I followed The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.10 [ISPConfig 3]

 

If you really want that, you can use the sftp protocol and use your root access on this server. (If I understand well ... :S )

 

Worded that badly how do I login as root using firezilla as I can only login as normal using sftp.

Can login using putty as normal and then typing sudo su and password.

Im a bit of a newbie to all of this lol.

 

tried winscp and get same error as filezilla attached screen shot, as I would like full control to put files on the server as it takes for ever to upload files going through the internet and it is easyer to use an ftp program to put files on and some of the files I would like to change can only be done locally,

and WINCP is asking for a private keyfile, where do I get that from??

need to logon as [email protected] but dont know how to do it using ftp.

 

Think im blonde lol changed it to scp and still get access denied

 

I can login to putty as normal [email protected] then type sudo su and password and that gives me [email protected]

 

and how do I do that?

 

and how do I enable root logins?

 

Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure you have

Code:

PermitRootLogin yes

in it. Then restart SSHD:

Code:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart

 

Hi Falko just had a look at the file and it all ready got PermitRootLogin set to yes, dont know if you got any other ideas as I got none lol.

and big thanks to Till who tried to help me yesterday.

 

if you have installed rkhunter, it might prohibit ssh with user root.
