[clue-tech] What are good methods for uploading files to server from dev system?

[Brian Gibson]

Tried out ssh connected via Cygwin.  Worked like a
charm.  It's no Remote Desktop or VNC but since Ubuntu
server doesn't come with a desktop it's fine.  

Used FileZilla from Windows for file transfers.  I
wanted the drag and drop capability.  Again it fit the
bill.

Thanks for the tip.
