How to control multiple vero 4k+ boxes?

Will only work with username and password osmc. Doesn’t work with changing username or password unless its default so I’m leaving it as that.

You maybe have to reboot or restart the sftp server. It’s working here with user osmc and a custom password.

HI,

Just to be clear its ssh that needs to be restarted:

sudo systemctl restart sshd

But rebooting or restarting ssh shouldn’t be required, something strange is going on if only the default is working. It may be worth posting some logs:

How are you changing the username, it would be better to create a new user; if you want to use a different one for sftp/ssh:

sudo adduser *new.username*

Regards Tom.

I’ve restarted the device, is this what you mean?

Will try when later on with the command line.

I’m changing the username and password in services, control and the username password in there.

That is only the password for the HTTP/Web Server. SFTP/SSH username/password changes are independent of that and need to be changed on the command line
