kaledi 32 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaledi 32 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution FrostByte 5049 Posted July 26, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited July 26, 2022 by FrostByte fixed chdir command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaledi 32 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
