How do I work with a remote file system from windows using a GUI?
I need to log into a Linux server from a Windows PC. So far I used Putty but I don't like typing ls and CD all the time. Is there a gui alternative to this?
Try WinSCP, it may meet your needs, depending on what you actually want to do. You can graphically browse the file system and you can open shell windows to run commands as well.
Filezilla is also great with this (sftp). Even better since it is cross-platform.
