You cannot view the /root/ folder without using the root login details.

/root folder is not where you should find your sentora files.

Sentora use:

/var/lib/sentora

I think he was logging into the server using the ftp created, which would not allow him to view the /root/ or /var/lib/sentora

betatester3.0 sentora don't creat SSH users.. So you can't login using FTP and less access /root. The only way here is using the SSH root login and so my answer above apply.

For security sake, when you set up SSH for using WinSCP, use secure keys instead of a username and password combination. It will allow your communications to the server to be easily made AND it will mean everything passed on SSH is encrypted. This prevents a "man in the middle" attack stealing your credentials. It also puts an end to worrying about someone successfully running a "brute force attack" on port 22 - although they will continue to try. (See Fail2ban)

There are tutorials all over the net on how to do this with on Unix (AKA Linux) OS'es. Use your favorite browser to find an appropriate tutorial.
Everyone makes mistakes, but to truly screw up it takes the root password!
