Hi,
I have a Raspberry Pi 2 on which I have installed the latest version of LibreELEC and Leia. I can connect to the Pi using WinSCP over SSH, using root (whoami = root). I can open logs and xml files etc.
However, I am not able to either update files nor create new. All I get is an error code 4 (General failure).
Please advice or is there any more info I need to provide?
Thank you in advance!

Firstly, sshing as root is a bad idea in general. Connect as a regular user then `su - root` to do what you need. I do not believe "error code 4" is a linux error. What specific command did you type and what specific error did you experience? Post the output of your ssh session using code tags.

LibreELEC only has one user: root.

I did not type any commands. I am using the GUI of WinSCP.

Klojum - I did say in general... running a LE is a special use-case and I was unaware how it as structured.

MGO-DK - It sounds like you're asking for support for winscp not Kodi or LE. When you said you are unable to update files, I assume you mean via a text editor on LE? Try putty rather than winscp.
Which files are you trying to edit/create, and where in the LibreElec filing system are you trying to do it?
Some parts of the LE set-up are read-only, which may be the problem if you're trying to do stuff in those areas.

I am trying to setup path substitution using
HOW-TO:Reduce_disk_space_usage (wiki)
Which is creating/editing advancedsettings.xml in /usr/share/kodi/system/

Maybe Putty is an option. I have no experience with this. I upgrade my Pi from Krypton on which I believe that successfully both added files (new versions and addons) and altered files. All using WinSCP.
That's the wrong place (it's part of the read-only file system area, as I mentioned before).
In LE, the
advancedsettings.xml (wiki) file should be in the
userdata (wiki) folder ( /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml ).

Sigh... My bad, did not spot that in the how-to
Thank you!
No probs - you're welcome.
Thread marked solved.
