Darren,
I used the SFTP program you directed me to, and I can log in, and I can find
the files on the RPI.
I tried to copy /ect/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and I get permission
denied, error code 3.
I tried using F9 to change the properties to both read and write, and I get
the same error code.
Do I have to SSH into the RPI with Putty and change the permissions first?
Also, what is the window after the password window when I am starting SFTP?
I tried the password again, and I don't think that is it, because it says
"file not found".
So I tried the above-mentioned file including its path, and that did not
work either.
Thanks for any help.
Glenn

Hi Glenn
I can't remember if you are using a windows box, but if you are this might
help you with editing files. I've just discovered a nifty program called win
scp. It allows you to SSH into a linux box and then display in a split
screen all the files on both your linux box and windows machine so you can
transfer files from one to the other very easily.
If you select commander mode during installation then you will be able to se
all the permissions on the linux files which is handy. The only gotcha is
that if you are editing linux config files in windows. You must make sure
that the line endings are set correctly. Windows files use cr and lf at the
end of each line. Whereas linux files only use lf. There is a setting that
allows win scp to automatically make sure the files have the correct line
endings. Although I haven't looked through the settings yet. I try and edit
config files in linux with ED, but I'm still learning.

Hope that helps.
Darren.
