        You can setup a new admin level user and use that I believe.

          Thanks for answer.

          how I can create it with admin level? I created it, but I haven't permissions to make changes. Is to upload a file.

          Sorry, I'm newbie. Thanks.

            If you just need to upload a file you can SCP or SFTP into the box as root, the console menu will not be a problem. Or in fact just upload it via the webGUI and then move it from the console.

            When you create the new user did you add the 'admins' group?

            Are you running a Nano image? If so you have to remount the filesystem RW before changing anything.

              I could do it with root and scp transfer.

              Thank you.
