I can't log-in to WinSCP using username "root". I already change the password of "root" in Ubuntu, and I successfully log-in there. But in WinSCP, it goes like this

Search for host... Connecting to host... Authenticating... Using username "root" Authenticating with pre-entered password. Access Denied.

and I am need to re-type the password again. By the way I'm using VMware Player for Ubuntu. Thanks!

Ubuntu: Move fsbackup backups to Amazon S3

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a legacy server (Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic x86), where previous admin set up backups with fsbackup. This server lives in a VPS (under some kind of Xen), and it is low on HDD space (16 GB total). Now it came to a point, where fsbackup backups take more space than the rest of data in the system. The… >>> More
