Hi Glenn
As I said I'm new to this programme so not sure this will work. I tried
copying the same file to my PC and got the same error as you. Then I tried
copying a file from my home directory and that worked ok. Maybe if you login
into the pi and become root. Then copy the config file to your home
directory and then see if you can copy it across to the PC? Maybe its an
ownership issue? Not sure.
The field after the password is for a private key file. If you use the jaws
cursor it will read this label just above the edit field. The button after
is for browsing to that key file I think.
Darren.
