Could you explain this part please?
My server tells me I have a ...
"Shell account - allows SFTP/FTP plus ssh access.
Shell Type: /bin/bash "
(Other options available are: /bin/bash/tcsh ... /bin/bash/ksh ... /bin/bash/zsh)
If I 'open' the file on the server it justs opens in a temp file on my computer, not on the server.
As I'm on a slow wireless internet connection, paying for uploads and downloads, this would be much quicker and easier for me. :)
