Need help recovering my old TrueNAS/FreeNas setup

In the TrueNAS UI go to Credentials > Users and set a password for the “root” user. Also check the “ssh access” box for that user. It must be the root user, you cannot use another one for what we are trying to do.

Then in WinSCP use “root” as the username and the password you just set.

You’re a genius! I’m copying my backup to external drive now.

Thanks a million.
