Help with steamdeck hostname for file transfers (lemmy.lukeog.com)

So I’ve got everything on my PC running in WinSCP. I’ve enabled sshd in Konsole on the deck.

However, when I try to connect WinSCP says steamdeck is not a valid hostname.

In Konsole I type hostname and it returns with Bash: hostname: configuration not found

I’m at a loss trying to figure this out…

You could always just connect directly via IP. “ip a” will show you the steamdecks IPs. Assuming both your steamdeck and computer on the same network the ip starting with 192. Or 10. Or 172. Should work.
