@jborges SSH shouldn't disable itself so you're good on that.

On Winscp i seen that cant access/find my Gameslists folder either my xml files and my rom Images like i do on Retropie Via LAN , is that right???? so winscp is like a temporary Access option to the retropie like the roms folder in specific ?!?!?

@jborges gamelists are in

/home/pi/.emulationstation

You may need to enable hidden folders in WinSCP

yes i did \RETROPIE .....always worked before

but what about \\RETROPIE?

//retropie

Syntax? Are you actually typing it in correctly? with the correct number of characters as your posts seem to change.

@rbaker I don't know how his is, but when I type \\retropie on my phone and submit my post, it removes the first '\' and makes it look like \retropie.

Hey, seemed best to renew this thread as it's the #1 thread found on Google for this issue:

I'm also having this problem and it's quite vexing. I used to be able to type this in File Explorer and have it work fine (it's even there as a quick link under Network, but doesn't work any longer. I can easily get to the system by typing the static IP it's on: 192.168.1.41. File Explorer instantly connects to it, so does Filezilla and Putty, but typing the hostname doesn't work.

I'll be darned if I can figure out how you guys highlight stuff in red to be able to type the double-slash, but that's what I type.
