** Hi,

There is also a Windows text editor called UltraEdit that allows you to read/write files from/to remote systems as long as you have an account on it. So you can have UltraEdit running on windows PC and reading a file from your Solaris box. Needless to say, it's much more convenient than the Unix tools (vi,...etc). Although it's not free there is an evaluation version - it's available from http://www.ultraedit.com.

Hi,

If you want to learn more about unix, look at the following commands:
- cat xxx.log
- more xxx.log
- grep "searchstring" xxx.log
- vi xxx.log

You can probably get the files to your PC with either ftp or scp (secure
copy).

If you prefer a Windows-based file transfer program, as opposed to the
command line versions, I can suggest FileZilla:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla

** And if you can spare a weekend to learn Unix, I would recommend a book called "Unix Weekend Crash Course" by Arthur Griffith - ISBN number 0764549278.

Textpad works well with WinSCP too. You can open multiple remote
files in the same editor window.

Of course, you will need to install openssh on the sun server to use
these tools.

Axton:

I would like to add to your comment. Make sure you install the latest version of openssh to avoid possible security problems. www.sunfreeware.com has a precompiled openssh for both Solaris 8 and 9 (don't know if they support 10 yet or not.) You may have to install other packages to install this service, but you would have to install them if you were to build from source anyway.
