Access USB connected to Pi via Win10 PC

Postby mromero10024 » 29 Mar 2017, 05:54

I have gotten as far as accessing the pi using WinSCP, using the ip address of the PI given by Rune audio.
I would like to access the USB connected via this connection and place and remove music files on the USB.

The issue I am having is that when I connect via WinSCP I do not see any files or anything period.
Anyone can shed any light onto the situation? Hopefully someone can provide some steps.

Hi mromero10024,

- Use sftp to access files on Rune Audio:
Get WinSCP from and install it.
When it opens setup the following:
- Session
File Protocol: SCP
Host name: The IP address of you Raspberry Pi
User name: root
Password: rune

That's it, connect and you can transfer files just by dragging and dropping.

The path to your files is:
/mnt/MPD/USB

You have to check the permissions, the USB hdd could be mounted read only.

So this time around i was able to access the USB folder but keep receiving an error

and these are the rights shown next to the files.

How can I change the permissions to allow me to write to the USB?
