Hi!<br />
<br />
Use PuTTY to connect to your *nix server, show the file with the command 'cat filename.txt', then select &quot;Copy All to Clipboard&quot; in PuTTY window-menu.<br />
<br />
Or use PSFTP to connect to the *nix server and copy the file to your Windows machine.<br />
<br />

I like winscp for the file copy, it uses ssh. &nbsp;Due to the end of line markers notepad may not like it much so a better editor can help (I like crimson editor).<br />

I use WinVI as a text editor in Windows. Only a single EXE and can handle large files, *nix end-of-line, hex data and more. And it's freeware without any nags!<br />

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
