I'm having problems when modifying .sh and .cgi files in windows and uploading them to the joggler through WinSCP.
Basically when I've uploaded the files (created or edited in Notepad++) they will not execute unless I open the version on the Joggler through WinSCP and resave it directly to the Joggler.
I have tried the following:
Create the file in Windows using Notepad++
Upload to the Joggler inWinSCP
Change permissions in WinSCP to full control
or use chmod to change permissions
but the file "is not found" when I try to run in in putty etc.
As I say, if I then open the file from the joggler in WinSCP and save it then they run fine in terminal.
Am I missing something obvious here?

Re: Problem with .sh & .cgi files created in Windows & uploa
Hmm. It looks like saving them in standard Notepad app (Windows XP) and then transferring them may work...testing now...

Re: Problem with .sh & .cgi files created in Windows & uploa
Could be something to do with line breaks being different in unix and windows? Not sure.... Or are you forgetting unix files are case sensitive?
Would it be possible for you to upload some of the icons i see in your avatar or let me know where you got them from? I have another thread asking somewhere.

Re: Problem with .sh & .cgi files created in Windows & uploa
I think it is a compatibility issue between unix and windows. Any advice as to how I should be editing files before uploading them? Should I be using Ubuntu etc to do this rather than Windows?

When you do the transfer in WinSCP hit the "Transfer Settings..." button on the "Copy" dialog and select Binary.

Re: Problem with .sh & .cgi files created in Windows - SOLVE
All sorted I think thanks to posts above. Set Tansfer to Binary in global settings for WinSCP. Also, as precaution, when saving, set file type to .sh before saving as a .sh or .cgi in Notepad++
Anyway, can now upload, download and, after setting permissions, running scripts using ./<PATH>/<SCRIPT>.sh works as it should!
It's taken a week to do, but I've successfully modded the very clever PnP stuff to install and remove my chosen apps on the Joggler OS desktop (Opera, iPlayer, YouTube with own tabs, Squeezeplayer with Squeezeserver and iPlayer plugins, Google Maps, OP Weather, Google Calendar, a timer, a stopwatch, the OP Horoscopes, SWF manager, Restart Tango, ScreenOFF, o2 Memos, o2 Calculator, OP Dilbert, OP News, o2 Alarm, OP clock screensaver and my custom icons and radio stations) on a clean, networked image in just under 15 minutes from my own filespace without me having to raise a finger other than to network a clean image first and then plug in the USB stick to start the process!
I'm sure most of you could have done this without breaking sweat but, as always, I've learned a lot from the journey!

Glad to help!
Did you install the latest YouTube player (v1.2), the one that uses the Little App Launcher to install?
