SCP for CSR copy to signing authority

Team - can't grab the CSR I generated

    root / shd-admin logins are confirmed as good 

    Console and web access confirmed as good 

    Putty to IP with root - good

Try to connect to the appliance using WinSCP to retrieve the CSR I generated - both root / shd-admin "access denied"

reviewed ssh_config - not seeing anything to allow/deny a connection on port 22 for SCP /  SFTP port 21  FTP

Need assistance retrieving the generated CSR

I have reviewed the installation PDF Guide ver 3.0.0 - Have not found anything specific for this 

I am on version 3.0.0

 

Appreciate any insights - Thank you

Never mind - was able to work it out.

 

Enable root login in sshd_config

     vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Change this line from no to yes    "PermitRootLogin No"

Save change and restart the sshd daemon

     systemctl restart sshd

Now I can use WinSCP and grab the SCR I generated.
