      Hi,

      I had enabled SSH and able to get my computer within the LAN to ssh in the pfsense, but why I cannot copy file out of pfsense. I am using pscp to copy out, but it stuck after the password entry.

      Do I need to enable anything or write a new firewall rule? if yes, what's the config look like?

        You are probably trying to log in as admin.  You need to log in as root instead.

          It´s correct. The same issue happens when you try to connect to the pfsense using any WinSCP or WinFTP cliente as BitviseTunnelier, if you´re logged as admin you cannot list the folders by GUI, but if you´re log in as root, works!

          Regards.
