Accessing files using WinSCP
-------------------------------
`WinSCP <https://winscp.net/eng/docs/introduction/>`_ is an open source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client, S3 client and SCP client for Windows. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers scripting and basic file manager functionality.
You can `download <https://winscp.net/eng/downloads.php/>`_ the portable version of WinSCP and run it on Linux through `Wine <https://wiki.winehq.org/Main_Page/>`_.
To run WinSCP on Linux, download wine through your distribution's package manager, then run it via: wine WinSCP.exe.
To connect to Nextcloud:
* Start WinSCP
* Press 'Session' in the menu
* Press the 'New Session' menu option
* Set the 'File protocol' dropdown to WebDAV
* Set the 'Encryption' dropdown to TSL/SSL Implicit encryption
* Fill in the hostname field: example.com
* Fill in the username field: NEXTCLOUDUSERNAME
* Fill in the password field: NEXTCLOUDPASSWORD
* Press the 'Advanced...' button
* Navigate to 'Environment', 'Directories' on the left side
* Fill in the 'Remote directory' field with the following: /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/NEXTCLOUDUSERNAME/
* Press the 'OK' button
* Press the 'Save' button
* Select the desired options and press the 'OK' button
* Press the 'Login' button to connect to Nextcloud
Note: at the time of writing (2022-11-02) WinSCP does not seem to understand Nextcloud `2fa <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_user/two_factor-auth.html/>`_, it will fail to connect with a 401 Unauthorized message.
Workaround is to create a separate user without 2fa enabled.
