![How to use sudo access in winSCP][1]sudo access in winSCP

First of all you need to check where is your SFTP server binary located on server you are trying to connect with winSCP.

You can check SFTP server binary location with below command –

```
[root@kerneltalks ~]# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config |grep -i sftp-server
Subsystem sftp  /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
```

Here you can see sftp server binary is located at `/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server`

Now open winSCP and click `Advanced` button to open up advanced settings.

It will open up advanced setting window like one below. Here select `SFTP `under `Environment` on left hand side panel. You will be presented with option on right hand side.

Now, add SFTP server value here with command `sudo su -c` here as displayed in screenshot below –

So we added `sudo su -c /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server` in settings here. Now click Ok and connect to server as you normally do.

After connection you will be able to transfer files from directory where you normally need sudo permission to access.

That’s it! You logged to server using winSCP and sudo access.
