Connect via WinSCP to localhost

[blvck 0]

Is this possible? I'm compiling my Source on a VM, how do i get to the files via WinSCP?

Localhost is only for your pc. VM is on your pc, but have a different ip. With winscp connect to vm's ip. If the net of your vm is nat you need to create a port redirect on porn 22. If it's a bridge you can connect without problem.

ee /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Look for

#PermitRootLogin no

Change into

PermitRootLogin yes

Look for

#Port 22

Change into

Port 22

Press ESC and 2 times ENTER to close and save the file.

Restart sshd using:

service sshd restart

 

Do ifconfig to find the ip adress dhcp provided you.

under em0, after inet:  you will see your ip.

Example print. Ip from mine is 192.168.205.130, yours will be at same location.

Enter that ip+user (root?) + password and with port 22 on winscp.

Done.
