I have done the PATH variable setting and after doing this a DOS program starts as WinSCP. I'm guessing this is winscp.com. I want to run WinSCP.exe. I can do the whole C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe, but I just want to type WinSCP and the GUI should pop-up. Has anybody done this before?
Then, once you have correctly entered your password, you will have two windows, one the left will be your local computer and on the right will be your home directory on comet.sciclone.wm.edu.
I loaded volumio onto a rpi4, installed my music library onto an SSD attached to the RPI4 and using the native volumio hot spot managed to get music out of my speakers all under the perfect control of my android phone. Its perfect for me until this point. In order to modify my library and get it back onto the pi I had to keep removing my SSD and rebooting volumio. I did use the shutdown control but my PC keeps reporting my SSD has a problem and repairs it for me, I do not know how to mount and unmount a drive in volumio because I cannot get a connection from my laptop to my rpi4. I do not have a router or a wired network. I live off my phone and with its hotspot I have wifi throught the house. I have tried every possible way to raise a terminal window on my lap top to tinker with the internal code of volumio but without a connection it is impossible. Volumio recognises my phone hotspot and when I look at the wifi network from my laptop I can see that volumio, my laptop and the hotspot are all working. I have been able to control volumio from my laptop to select & play music. When I tell volumio my wifi and password then I lose connectivity from my spare simless mobile phone which I use as a remote but I retain connectivity from my hot spot mobile phone, then I lose connectivity from my PC. I have reinstalled volumio half a dozen times. Really all I want is to have my laptop connect to my rpi4 then use a terminal window to move files between pi and windows 10 machine. Any help would be appreciated.
If I plug in a RJ45 network cable to the pi and my notebook, I can access the Volumio GUI by entering in a browser using Win10, ensure that the ethernet configuration on your windows machine is set to automatically get an ip-address.
Maybe disable wifi before, once connected you can enable it again.
Thank you for your advice but nothing works. I think the problem is that I do not have a router or an internet connection. I am experiencing the same problem with OMV. Like many people today I do not need ethernet in my house and I do not need a landline internet connection. My mobile phone does everything including acting as a successful router for my windows laptop (ethernet free) and my rpi4 when running with a gui. My phone hotspot shows that volumio is connected but two ip tracking software pakages installed on my laptop no longer show volumio as being part of my hotspot network following a reboot in headless mode. I installed OMV directly onto my rpi4 after also upgrading the OS over my telephone wifi. After a successful OMV install raspberrypi was no longer displayed by my pc network tracking software. Unless I can use my pi in headless mode via my telephone hotspot it is worthless to me which is a pity because it has so many useful features. At least volumio can be read if it is run with its own access point ebabled.
WinSCP is a graphical SCP, "point and click" encrypted remote file transfer client for Windows. It is built on top of a portion of the PuTTY source code. It can be downloaded from: After downloading, double-click on the icon to begin the installation. Follow all the steps (it is a typical windows install wizard) and choose the "typical" install option when prompted. It should only take a few seconds to install the package. When done, a WinSCP icon should appear on the Desktop.
When you are connected you will be taken to a window showing two panels. The left panel shows your local My Documents folder and the right panel shows the files on the server. You can navigate within either of these windows the same way that you would in an Explorer window. To copy files to the server, simply drag them from the left panel into the right panel. To copy files from the server to your local computer, drag from the right panel to the left panel. Remember, do not edit files directly off the server--save a copy to your local computer for editing and then copy it back to the server when done.
This video instructional describes how to perform a secure file transfer between the Discover systems and a local windows workstation. The user will be given instruction on how to download and install the PuTTy terminal emulator software as well as the WinSCP secure GUI file transfer utility necessary to accomplish file transfers.
