FreePBX 17 SSH Access

I am trying to set up FreePBX 17 and want SSH access so I can up load a FreePBX back up and have root access to the files for editing.

I can get access after the ISO installs using the sangoma account but there is no write access, once the FreePBX install script completes that seems to stop working.

I am no Linux expert but someone give me a clue as to how I get root file access through SSH as I did in FreePBX 16 please.

As an update I did a third install of FreePBX 17, after the ISO completed but before the install script for FreePBX started I logged in with WinSCP, on this instance after the FreePBX install completed I still had SSH access.

However I only have access on the “sangoma” login so I have full read access and no write access. I want to get back to where I was with FreePBX 16, on that I had root access and could write any files.

Please use sudo to access root-level commands e.g. sudo fwconsole ...

So thats fine for running commands, however I running my PBX on a small Gigabyte Brix Box left in a server cabinet and either use Cyberduck or WinScp to SSH in when I want to make manual adjustments, I might be missing something here but I don’t think Cyberduck or WinScp support sudo, I have certainly never used the SSH connection that way.

ssh will use them as it runs the user’s normal shell. This is not something controlled by the remote client.
