I'm new to ssh and linux in general. I've got putty set up and I can connect to my server and list files and everything. I'm wondering how I can edit a file using notepad++ (or another editor). Is there a way to have it automatically download and upload through ssh? How else do you edit a file?
Thanks

If you really need a GUI editor another alternative is to install on one on the server and run it via SSH.
To do this you need:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
so this is setX11Forwarding yes
. Restart ssh if you had to change.editor filename
and the GUI from the remote system will be displayed on your local machine.
