Right, I've sent my brother his Pi for his birthday and before doing so, I copied the SD contents to another SD and prepared a blank USB to use for Storage.
Now it's booting OK but obviously without any of the tweaks and addons that were in Storage, so I'm trying to WinSCP in to copy that across from the backup on the PC but I can't connect, nor with Putty.
I've pinged it on 192.168.1.72 (the same address as my brother's one was using) and it's responding but it seems that neither SCP or SSH are running on the Pi for some reason. I've rebooted but that hasn't helped. Went through the initial setup on first boot and set the IP address manually.
I recalled there's been some problems in the past with manual IP addresses, so I changed it back to DHCP, which uses 192.168.1.73 and rebooted but still no access.
Anyone got any ideas?

OK, I switched it back to using the SD for /storage and now I can SCP and SSH in on 192.168.1.73.
Using mount I can see that the USB is vfat but nonetheless it's created the files and folders you'd expect on storage, although .cache is missing the five service_xxxx.conf but the rest of the files/folders appear to be there.
Is it just not possible for it to work on a vfat formatted device? If so, is there a way to format it as ext4 from a SSH console, as then I can copy the files over to it and hopefully it will work then?
