WinSCP cannot change the config.txt file - forumarbeit - 27th Apr, 2014 08:59 PM
Hi,
I want replace the changed file /boot/config.txt on my raspberry pi with WinSCP.
I get always the message Error code: 3, Error Message from Server : Permission denied.
My login is the standard xbian login.
It is possible, i have no rights for this action? If yes, how can I this rights?
Many thanks.

Ok I have set a new root password on XBIAN-OS and make in WinSCP a root - Login Profil user:root and new changed passwort.
Now I could replaced the file.

it is not "problem" in means of bug. the chain of events leading to that is fact that /boot partition is fat. fat has no ACLs and by default is mounted with "fake" ownership = owner root.
it can be changed via mountoptions in /etc/fstab for /boot to xbian, which would allow xbian RW access to /boot. it is "uid=value and gid=value".
but probably better solution is to set "umask=0". (just add it into /etc/fstab line which starts /dev/mmcblk0p1. change rw,noatime to rw,noatime,umask=0.
umount /boot && mount /boot .
now anyone should be able to RW into /boot
(umask=0 will not change owner - this stays root. but will allow RWX permissions for owner also owner group and also - our case - other users).
