Using the Admin<br />

Console File Editor<br />

2-12 Administrator’s Overview<br />

To delete an item from a list or table in an Admin Console<br />

window, click on the item to select it, and then click Delete.<br />

When you leave a window that you have modified, you will<br />

automatically be prompted to save your changes before you exit<br />

the window. You can also save your modifications at any time by<br />

clicking the Save icon in the toolbar (or an OK button for some<br />

pop-up windows).<br />

When you exit a window and do not want to save your changes,<br />

click No when prompted to save your changes. You can also<br />

cancel your changes at any time by clicking the Rollback icon (or<br />

the Cancel button in some windows) to restore the current<br />

window’s settings to the last saved version.<br />

For assistance on any <strong>of</strong> the Admin Console windows, click the<br />

Help icon located in the top portion <strong>of</strong> the window. The online<br />

help provides information about each <strong>of</strong> the Admin Console<br />

windows. To view the entire list <strong>of</strong> available help topics, click the<br />

TOC button from within the help system.<br />

While administering <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, you may find it necessary to<br />

modify a text file or a configuration file. Although the typical UNIX<br />

editors are available for you to use (vi, emacs, and pico), you may<br />

find it easier to use the File Editor provided with the Admin Console.<br />

The File Editor is an easy-to-use editor that is available directly from<br />

the Admin Console. The File Editor simplifies the editing process,<br />

enabling you to perform virtually every necessary editing task from<br />

the Admin Console instead <strong>of</strong> using a command line.<br />

The File Editor also provides some additional conveniences such as<br />

unique file backup and restore features. (Of course, UNIX aficionados<br />

are still welcome to use the editor <strong>of</strong> their choice if they prefer.) In<br />

addition, using the File Editor through the Admin Console provides a<br />

secure connection.<br />

To access the File Editor, log in to the Admin Console, select File<br />

Editor, and then click Start File Editor. The following window appears:

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.

Ooh no, something went wrong!
