Linspect Editor is a text editor for Windows. It allows you to directly open files from remote Linux or Unix servers over an SSH-secured connection, change/update the files and write them back to any server. Linspect Editor can help system administrators, programmers and users who often need to edit server-side text files, configuration files, system scripts, batch files, source code, CGI scripts and other program files.

Just run it, connect to a server, browse through the server file system, open a file (file is downloaded to Linspect Editor over SSH), change the file and save it either locally, or back to the server (or to any other server). You can also open/edit/save local files, and save them to remote servers as well. Linspect Editor does Unix<->Windows CR/LF format conversion for you.

With Linspect Editor you can e.g. connect to a Linux machine (using a secure SSH1 or SSH2 connection), browse through the server file system, open a script (the script will open in Linspect Editor on your Windows machine and the connection to the server is closed), then you can edit the file, connect to a different Linux/Unix machine, browse to a desired directory and save the script there.

Linspect Editor does not keep the connection open. It connects to a server just if you are opening or saving a remote file. You can also save files locally (on your Windows machine).

Among very common system administration tasks belongs also opening a configuration file, duplicating some lines, commenting out some other lines and saving the file (under a different name or to another server machine). Linspect Editor contains built-in features that sure will come in really handy: you can use keyboard shortcuts to comment out lines, to duplicate or delete lines. Should you have some suggestions on what features you would like to see in future versions of the Linspect Editor, feel free to send it to us.
