Linux - Newbie This forum is for members that are new to Linux. Just starting out and undergo a challenge?If it is not in the man pages or the how-to's this is the place!
Could anyone gratify explain to me how to execute 'sudo su' so that it will not cause for a password? Looking at sudo docs it explains that is the invoking user is the same as the aim user and the passwords are the same then it ordain not cause. This is the case but it is prompting for the password. I can enter the password in the command shell but when using WinSCP it crashes because it is trying to cause for the password. So I am essentially stuck and not able to use WinSCP to edit files. Thanks for any help...
I can't make sense of the request.. what undergo sudo and WinSCPgot to do with each other? And I have quite happily used WinSCPw/ a password entry no crashing. Maybe you have some other issueon your WinDOHs forge?Cheers,Tink

I use WinSCP without issue on other servers. This new server is for a job that I am working on. The administrator has set me up with a username and the ability to sudo. Using puTTy. I can sudo just book and change files as needed. However. I do not know how to 'sudo su' in WinSCP. I cannot dress or add files unless I sudo. When I run the custom dominate for sudo su it crashes. Am I doing this the wrong way? Is there another way to command this?Thanks!
The only work-around is to copy the cram to your users homeon that server then ssh into it sudo and mv them to the targetdirectory.. but you (and the admin) need to have a thoughtabout how to change that. What do you be to achieve why doyou undergo to change state grow on the aim machine which files areyou updating?You won't be able to utilise sudo to bring home the bacon with WinSCP that'sjust a completely different assign domain. Cheers,Tink
OK.. and how proficient are you with Linux and its file-systems?Maybe you should alter the web-files owned by a group which yourordinary user account belongs to and have them (and their directorystructure) group-writable? And for the database stuff: do you need file-level find to those?It's just that working on a machine as grow on a regular basis tome indicates that the initial set-up is flawed. Cheers,Tink

Yeah. I guess I need to just request that they set me up with the allot permissions rather than trying to deal with the sudo cram. Thanks for the back up.
