Hi Guys,
Logging in as root in a terminal works, I can now get and put

shouldn't root ssh login be disabled?
Why?
I cannot imagine why anyone would want to use a terminal/ssh to
move files (unless its something like an rsync script). OP appears
to be trying to move files using a browser (maybe I snipped too
much). Konqueror supports sftp://(user@)IP/host (ssh ftp, packaged
with ssh) addresses which makes it really easy to move files
to/from other machines. Using the already suggested key pairs it's
just like working with files on the local system.
I thought remote root logins were disabled by default, it's a
standard security precaution (since I cannot $ su w/ sftp, I
enable/limit root logins to key pairs on my remote server).
...I see that sshfs and using it in Konqueror via fish:// have been
mentioned. I've never used them and see no point when Konqueror and
sftp are already available.
Thank you for your reply.
I understand your comments. However on both my machines running Q4OS
and Trinity 14.05, Konqueror reports "malformed URL" for any of the
strings I type in the address bar. As does Chrome and Firefox.
Using a terminal doesn't work unless I use a root one.
To be able to drag n drop using a browser would be nice particularly
if it didn't alter permissions on the way.
I wish it was as easy as you say it should be :-)
