Solaris 8 pico editor and ftp
Hi,
I'm new to UNIX. ANyway, my problems go like this:
1) I can't invoke the pico editor on the console or terminal screen. Message saying " file not found".Only vi editor is valid. Any suggestions?
2) I tried to ftp some files from my server from a remote terminal. But message appears as permission denied.
I've chmod 755 the files and also set the owner rights to myself.
Do i have to login as root to transfer the files?
Then if I sucessfully transfer the file, where exactly will the file transferred be located on the remote pc?

"File not" found can also be the result of your shell not knowing where pico is. Try invoking it with the full path to the executable.
Where the file will wind up on the PC depends on what ftp client you are using. Most will allow you to specify, either before or during the transfer what the local directory to receive the downloads will be.

If you own the files on the remote and they are readable and the local directory is writeable you can download files. If the files are readable locally and the remote dir is writable by you you can upload files. Without a more explict description of what the ftp session looked like I can't tell why it didn't work.
