How to set up winscp
Download winscp from:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
(It would be the topmost link labeled "installation package") Run the installer. Accept all the default options. When finished, run the program. On the initial screen enter the following information Host name: the ip address of the server (for abe, enter asp.crecom.com.au) User name: enter the unix username Password: enter the unix password click on save. It will ask you to name the connection, the default should be fine. Now every time you run winscp, you will see your connection in a list. Just double click on this connection and it will connect to the server. Copying files to and from the server is performed by dragging to and from a windows explorer window.
For most customers, the ssh password is only used by scp, so if you don't know the password, just reset it with passwd <username> as root user.
#passwd <username> New password: Retype new password:
In the past we have typically used the following key
O = 0 I = 1 Z = 2 E = 3 A = 4 S = 5 G = 6 T = 7 B = 8
so example cairnsadmin would have password c41rn54dm1n.
This is not a hard and fast rule so no real need to follow it. The only time this will be an issue is if SCP is set up in more than 1 place (example, if there winscp, plus another one in guacamole). In this case, you have to enter the new password in all the places it is saved in.
