    I enabled root and was using it to log into my Pi via WinSCP without issues. I ran the command to updated the RetroPie Setup script and Binaries

    $ sudo RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

    And after that I could no longer log in with WinSCP using root. The pi user still works with WinSCP and I can still log in with root via Putty. Here is the error message I get

    WinSCP SSH error

    Any ideas how I can fix this? I need root to edit certain files.

    Update. I found that the new setup script added the following code to the .bashrc file courtesy of ckarini

    # RETROPIE PROFILE START

    I had to comment out the second to last line that says retropie_welcome to get WinSCP to work.
