Hi,
I want to transfer Astrometry index files from my PC to /usr/share/astrometry but I need to be logged in as Root to do this. What is the root password please.

root password of which machine?
Try also sudo su - (don't forget the dash) and enter the password of the user you're logged in as.

Clarification: Using core FTP to transfer files from Windows PC to Ekos (Stellarmate) running on Raspberry Pi.
So for other applications I would use core FTP to log into the remote RPI as Root.

Just ssh to your Stellarmate box, then type : sudo su -
once your 'root' via sudo, then type: passwd
enter your new password twice.

You can use SFTP with StellarMate on port 5624. For the password, check www.stellarmate.com/support/faq.html?view=faq&faqid=6

However, I don't think you can copy anything to /usr/share/astrometry directly, so as a regular user you need to move to /home/stellarmate, then login via SSH and move from there to /usr/share/astrometry

If you have the following set:

# grep "^PermitRootLogin" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes

you can scp anything you want to anywhere you like,
# scp file1 root@1.2.3.4:/usr/share/astrometry

Does StellarMate not have built in astrometry files?

It does, but not everything. IIRC, it contains 4206 and above.

Ok so used Core ftp to transfer to temp folder in Home directory then moved.
Other approaches sounded like an occasional Linux user like me could do a lot of accidental damage.
