hi

is thare any way i can copy the scripts from server to my desktop?

how do i edit the script from my desktop after copying to desktop?

Thanks

You asked about AIX in your other thread, so I'm assuming you know about Unix already. You copy scripts using the 'cp' command, as with most versions of Unix/Linux. Or do you mean how do you copy them over the NETWORK to your desktop? And what is your desktop running?? You can use the scp command (read the man page on scp), if you have ssh available on the server and your desktop. Or, FTP (again, providing you have FTP running on the server)
With an editor....vi, emacs, or even notepad on Windows can open a script file...it's just text. Pick your favorite text editor.

If you use windows and you want to download a scripts from your unix server, i would suggest you to use WinSCP.
Just login using your login/password or key, and download it.

As far as i remember, ftp sends login/password in plain text...

Remember that if you use MS editor, it'll change the end-of-line chars (MS = \r\n, *nix = \n).
You can use dos2unix (might be called dostounix on your system) to change them back after uploading.
