Using the File Editor
Editing Files
Files from the data store, for example, can be edited using the
files edit
command in the CLI
using the "ee" editor . The most common example for using this feature is to edit CLI scripts which
can then be executed using the
run_script
command, but there are other uses as well. You will
be able to edit existing files, however you will not be able to create and save new files to the data
store. (Use the files download command to place a new file into the datastore).
Examples of files that can be edited are
responder html edit
,
certificate
certfile/keyfile edit
,
files edit
, and others. In the example below the files edit command
is used. In the example below a configuration backup file script is opened for editing:
eqcli >
files edit backup script
When this command is executed, the " ee " editor will be displayed:

indicates that
your cursor is on line 3, column 5 within the file contents, etc.

← ↑ ↓ →
