I am unable to WINSCP into my Debian container. I don't get an error message, it just says authenticating then asks for the password again. I tried making the password super simple to eliminate that as a variable but that doesn't seem to be the issue. I am however able to get into the host to transfer files. I am not entirely sure what setup needs to be done to the container in order for that access to work. Fair warning, I am pretty new to Linux. I just need a way to transfer files from my windows PC to the server.
 
By default, password authentication is NOT allowed on Debian. If you are really sure that you need this, allow this inside your Debian container.

=> nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin Yes

Thank you, I had previously done this, but still can't get it to work.
 
Edit: It is saying access denied. So I eliminated the password variable and I am using the username root because I did not create individual users. So there is something keeping it from authenticating. I am also having an issue with accessing my SMB share on my windows machine and I think the two may be related.
