Confused newbie question: from local copy to Dreamhack (Windows)

[ninetydegrees]

In http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Beginning_dev_checklist, it is said that "you can download the files from your Dreamhack to your local machine, edit them, and then re-upload them."

How? I'm on Windows so I cloned the dw-free repo with Tortoise then edited the file locally. I also have Putty and a Dreamhack. I don't know how to 're-upload the file' I've changed or the patch I've made to my Dreamhack to be able to test it.

Sorry if this has been covered in the Wiki. I couldn't find it.

A: use WinSCP.

There are different ways, but from my Windows days I recommend the program WinSCP:

(And if you decide to use that and need more instruction with it, let me know!)

WinSCP is what I use as well.

Very easy to use, thanks!

make sure you check out the right-clicking-on-files-to-edit functionality - super useful for quick changes, or copying stuff to pastebin :)
