      Hi,

      I followed this tutorial, the pi is assigned the IP I give it but when attempting to access it using WinSCP I always recieve the same message:

      Network error connection to (myip) refused.

      The server rejected SFTP connection, but listens for FTP connections.

      I tried using FTP but I was just met with "The target machine actively refused it".

      Please help :)
