Hi,
I've just started a new job and have been told that it would be a good idea for me to install some sort of unix client on my windows PC and also to learn some basic unix commands in order to be able to browse data on the network and transfer files on to my local computer so I can then upload them in to a local database for querying/data analysis stuff.
So couple of questions:
1) What is a good, free application I use to access unix from my windows desktop? (I think I may have used PuTTY for this in the past, would that do a a job for me here, or is there a better alternative?)
2) Could anyone point me in the direction of a good online tutorial to learn the basics of browsing directories, locating files, copying / pasting, viewing samples of the data etc?
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Cheers,
Fred
