Opening and editing files

With the WinSCP client you can open and edit files with the help of a graphical interface. Please note that you can only edit files for which you have the required access rights.

Taking the configuration file rc.conf as an example, this work step shows how files can be opened and edited with the WinSCP client.

Requirements:

WinSCP-Client (see: Starting and using the WinSCP client).
