Title: Unable access attractmode in WinSCP
Post by: Batfan1939 on August 05, 2019, 12:01:56 am

A friend and I are trying to access the romlists in home/pi/.attract/ using the Windows version of WinSCP. When we attempt to enter the folder by double-clicking on it, we receive an error message stating, "Error listing directory '\opt\retropie\configs\all\attractmode\romlists' No such file or directory Error code: 2 No such file"

We tried updating the program, but it didn't help, and attempting to navigate to the filepath indicated leads to a dead end. That said, the retropie is able to display the current games from where it was working before, over a year ago (it hasn't been used since then) — we just can't add any new ones, even though no changes have been made since it was last used.

Use ssh.

How do we activate SSH? Sorry, we're both new to this.

I am not familiar with the gui app you have, ir why you need a gui app. You can do what you need from the terminal.
