Linux server question

[killerasp]

i plan on having a linux test webserver on a local-lan. so it wouldnt be visible to the outside world. I was planning to do php programming on it from a windows machine, how can i access the files remotely on a windows machine, edit them, and save them all from a from win9x? I know i can remote admin using ssh, but i dont think its meant for massive text editing.

You'd most likely want to use Samba (http://www.samba.org) to share files between the Windows machines. You can also use SSH and let's say VI to do the editing right on the Linux box itself, or you might just use SCP (a utility using SSH) to copy the files on your Windows machine to the Linux box. Enjoy!

Install SAMBA, you Linux computer and its shares will show up in Network Neighbourhood and you can use them as if they were windows files. Much easier.

I always use PSCP and PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) from a Windows box.
