user opc cant edit file using winscp so trying to allow root to ssh

End goal: edit files using winscp

for me, login as opc then sudo give the privilege of root >>> makes no security sense.

So, could you please help me allowing root to ssh.

  • i edited sshd_config witht he following: PermitRootLogin without-password and changed port 22
  • sudo semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 2345
  • restarted systemctl restart sshd.service

now port is changed but when i try to ssh as root i get the following output then ssh terminates:

Using username "root". Authenticating with public key "imported-openssh-key" Please login as the user "opc" rather than the user "root".

Howdy, Stranger!
