How to get root in WinSCP?

Question

linux

Hello. Is it possible to gain root access in the WinSCP manager?
The bottom line is, if I log in through the terminal, I get sudo user access
But my host made it so that if I need root, then in the terminal I need to go to root sudo -s
Accordingly, when I connect through WinSCP, I have su rights, like Can I get root in WinSCP?
For the first time, I haven’t come across this before, I don’t even know which way to dig.

Answer 1

First you need to find the sftp-server file
We remember the way!
At the very end of the file, on a new line, write:
The only thing left is to go to your WINSCP, select the desired connection - edit - additionally - SFTP in the field, add sudo /usr/lib/sftp-server
if your path sudo /usr/lib/sftp-server is different, then naturally use your own.
In different versions of distributors it happens in different ways.
good luck

What for? Practice restoring a server that was accidentally killed? winscp - file copy program - why does it need root access? We copy it to our homework, then we connect via ssh and transfer it where necessary.
