As Knobtviker said, you have to be a "root" user, this is what I did and it may be another better way to do it but it worked (i guess): 1. In terminal: devel-su 2. Password: root me 3. Change password: passwd user 4. New password: user (type it twice) 5. Open WinScp and syncronize with SDK connection 6. In terminal: cd /opt/waxmppplugin/bin/wazapp enter 7. then: chmod o+w protocoltreenode.py 8. Open the file /opt/waxmppplugin/bin/wazapp/protocoltreenode.py in WinScp 9. In my case, I did not replace the whole file, just this part: def readInt16(self,i,socketOnly=0): intTop = i.read(socketOnly); intBot = i.read(socketOnly); #Utilities.debug(str(intTop)+"------------"+str(intBot)); value = (intTop << 8) + intBot; if value is not None: return value; else: return ""; 10. Save and exit
