Editors

• During the course, you will have to edit scripts, protocols and other files.
• Our server has several editors installed.
• If you can use graphical interface, we recommend kate, which is used similarly as Windows-based editors.
• If you need to work in a text-only mode (slow connection or no X support):
  • As a simple editor you can use nano (see keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of the screen).
  • More advanced editors include vim, emacs, ne (read tutorials before starting using them).
• When working from Windows, you can also connect to the server via WinScp and edit the files using WinScp built-in editors or other editors installed on your computer (see Connecting_to_server).
• When working from Linux, you can mount your home directory using sshfs and again use editors installed on your computer (see Connecting_to_server).
