Trouble with an SSH task

[akande]

Hello everyone,

Can someone please help, I am trying to create a new file (text) using SSH on Linux. What command should I use for this?

[Asandir]

cd /home/user/where/I/want/
touch filename
vi filename

You can also type at the command prompt:

pico

then 'pico' screen comes up.

Write what you'd like.

Control+X to exit.

Say "Y" to "saving the file".

Pick desired file name.

Hit enter.

Done ;)
