To access your schof files from almost anywhere on a Windows machine, you can use WinSCP.
WinSCP provides an Explorer-like interface that allows seamless editing of files in Windows.
WinSCP-4.0.5 is available here:
Installing WinSCP
The installation of WinSCP is fairly straightforward.
The one option is to use a "Norton Commander" type interface or a "Windows Explorer" type interface.
I find the "Windows Explorer" interface to be superior, and the rest of this help page will cover using that interface.
Using WinSCP
After installing WinSCP, you should have an icon on your desktop called "WinSCP3".
When you double-click this icon, you will see a Login page. Fill it in with the correct values:
Be sure to use "SFTP" (allow SCP fallback).
"SCP" will not work on Schof.
Once you are connected, you will see your files in a Windows Explorer like interface.
To open files, you can double-click on the file.
This will not always do what you want.
You can also try right-clicking on the file and choosing "Open".
This will generally open up the file in the application you expect.
You can also drag-and-drop files into and out of the WinSCP window.
