Hello,

I've successfully manually copied a plugin into the Emby plugin folder using putty.  However, the permission attributes for the file are 'root' and therefore Emby can't see the plug in.  How can I use putty, or WinSCP to change the permission attributes so that Emby has access to it?

thanks

Using WinSCP right click on the dll and choose Properties

Thanks - it seems I can navigate around the folder and select the file in WinSCP, but I don't have root privaledges and therefore can't change the attributes.

How do I gain root privaledges with WinSCP, or how can change the attributes with Putty?

You can use the guide below to setup WinSCP for SU

For putty this should work

sudo -i
cd /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins
chown emby:emby myfile.dll
chmod 644 myfile.dll
ls -l myfile.dll

Thank you so much.  This worked a treat, with one modification for future reference.

To navigate to the directory it is

cd /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins

sudo -i
cd volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins
chown emby:emby myfile.dll
chmod 644 myfile.dll
ls -l myfile.dll
