How to etit files from win XP?
-
Hi, Ive wrote some updates to Captive portal that I will integrate in Monowall, but I have to wait on mono ppl tp explain me how to edit files…
So I thought maybe you can tell me how to edit files? Ive installed MVware Developeer Image (apperantly one that i got is v0.96.2) but any way I cant gett anything to work.... if I go to shell it doesnt even let me to do "dir" although "cd" works.... also to edit files I normally use Linspect Editor but it only gets the config menu of the box?
Any advice?

Diagnostics -> Edit file

Diagnostics Comand not found :-(

This is a Drop down menu, not a shell command.

oh..
I ment how can I see the filder list and etc. Sure use GUI for file editing will work, but might get furstrating after a while -
Enable SSH at your pfsense. Then use http://winscp.net/ to connect with user root and password <webguipassword>. It's an easy way to download/upload/modify files.</webguipassword>

Doesnt work :-(

Login as ROOT. Set mode to SFTP (allow SCP fallback).

Actually, I've been asking the same thing a couple of days ago.
'Of course' I searched the forum and the mail lists - but did'nt get an answer to my question "How does one connect pscp to transfer files from and to it…."
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=1319.0.
Have to say that I have SSH access to the pfSEnse box. - This is just plain easy.
And in 'my days', using vi wasn't any problem - it was far more better then edlin on another platform…. ;)The solution to my problem was: I was using the user named admin, that just doesn't work. One should use root. Like:
pscp -ls root@192.168.1.1:/usr ```. This will ask you for a password, and afterwards spit out the directory of **/usr**. Better yet:
pscp -pw mypassword root@192.168.1.1:/root/.login login
will copy the (hidden) .login file to your host, the file will be named login. You could edit it, and copy it back. **pscp** is a Windows XP command line progam, part of the **Putty** telnet/SSH toolkit, you can download it for free.

What is wrong with Diagnostics -> Edit file?
