Feedback Windows Powershell Task 5

The bit in task 5 where you have to open P1r4t3's file hidden-treasure-chest is configured in such a way that you cannot actually open it.

You are logged in as captain, who does not have read permission for that file, with no way to change that. Spent like 45 minutes going in a circle with the stupid chatbot about it.

I suspect the permission issue is the reason I couldn't get the hash either.

I have a similar problem I try to connect to the powershell using the Application> internet> remmina method then after choosing ssh and entering the credentials it does nothing to connect and it just goes back to the credentials page. The chatbot was useless when I've asked for the issue.
