How to edit files via SSH

If you are very new to command line interface we would advise you taking a short online course by searching for “linux command line interface” on your favourite website.

To edit a file while you are inside SSH use the command

sudo nano /path/to/your/file

Then leave your mouse alone as it does not control you cursor anymore 🙂

Use only your keyboard and once you are done, press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to close.
