SSH not working

[lilbud]

I tried to login to the pi via WinSCP, No matter what user I try to use, nothing works, I went into /etc/ssh/sshd_config and changed permitrootlogin to yes, but that does not work either. Nor will user PI work

once you change the permitrootlogin setting, you need to set a password for the root user. Try sudo passwd root

[lilbud]

I did that, and nothing will work. I even tried to change the password for user PI. Still nothing

have you tried enabling ssh via the raspi-config?

[labelwhore]

is that something new? I don’t remember having to do that.

[InsecureSpike]

no, its always been there, i just always enable it, when expanding the filesystem, setting the memory split & changing default password, not sure if it’s really needed to be done tho? but i do just incase

ssh is enabled by default for the “pi” user on the retropie images. unless it’s been disabled should be no need to enable it

[petrockblog]

Make sure you are logging in with user “pi” lowercase. the password is also lowercase.
