I just downloaded RBrowser, ssh'ed to my server, and then wanted to edit a file... the problem is that the file's permissions were set wrong. So I'm all "okay, let me just su and chmod as root." But then I couldn't figure out how I would do such a thing.
Is this possible? Can I switch to root inside RBrowser? Can I do anything fancy with my ports in terminal that would help me out?
Maybe I'm attacking this problem all wrong, though. Here's the situation -- I have an ssh server without an ftp server, and I need to be able to edit files on that server. I'd much rather use a GUI text editor like BBEdit to do so, instead of using vi, which I find to be kind of annoying. Maybe instead I should use ssh from the terminal window, set up a X11 server on my local machine, run it rootless, and then use a graphical version of emacs? Would this also solve my problem?
Thanks,
Dan
