WinSCP utility to transfer files from ASIAIR Plus to PC via Ethernet

OklahomaProf1940

I'm trying to use my ethernet connection to the ASIAIR Plus to transfer files down to my PC for processing. I am using the WinSCP utility with SFTP protocol for the transfer. The utility wants the host password to authenticate the connection and the hotspot password "12345678" is not recognized. How do I proceed? Thank you for your help.

From my point of view it is not possible to exchange data via scp.

Have a look into https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/asiair/asiair-guide-four-ways-to-connect-the-asiair-pro-to-network-updated/

You will find the working methods described there.

Thank you for your reply even though it's discouraging. I find it interesting that ZWO develops a very useful device, ASIAIR Plus, then ignores the most prevalent and powerful OS on the market, the PC with Windows, when writing the software to connect to and use it. This problem with using the ethernet connection to the ASIAIR to transfer files back to the PC seems related to the first approach. I am running my ASIAIR through the ethernet connection using BlueStacks, so obviously I can connect to the device. If I can connect to the device via ethernet cable then I should be able to "see" the internal file storage hardware and access the data stored there. The only obstacle present is apparently the ASIAIR OS does not want you to be able to do that. Nothing I just said is meant to criticize you or your reply. It's only my way of venting my frustrations with freely being able to use the hardware I spent my money buying. Take care.

I do this via robocopy to mounted drives on my W11 PC without issue. If I recall I had to enable access to unsigned SMB connections. Using wifi I see about 50 mbps via 2.4ghz.
