can't change any config files..lak of permission

[dookeedoo]

I am pretty new to retropie and I’m trying to make some changes to the config.txt file in the boot folder using winSCP. Everytime I try to save the file, I get an error saying that I can’t due to lack of permission. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

You might find it easier to use PuTTY

Then when you connect, use “sudo nano /boot/config.txt”
