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:

It's may or may not be worth noting that if you're using Putty, you may already have pscp and psftp which you can use to transfer files via ssh (associated documentation here for pscp and here for psftp).. although WinSCP may be a bit friendlier..

Are you running an actual Dreamhack, or just cloning the repository?
