Nano Tab-size Configuration

If you read my previous post, you should know by now that i like NANO as my text editor in the command line, but it’s default configuration annoys me;

The tab size was too long for my liking, so i needed to find a way to change it,
so after 5 mins on searching the web i found the solution.

I’ll share it with you now:
what you got to do is to open nano’s configuration file, you have to do this either as root or using sudo(or su)
the file is located here: /etc/nanorc
so you would do something like this in the terminal: ~$ sudo nano /etc/nanorc now find the line that says:

## Use this tab size instead of the default; it must be greater than 0.
set tabsize 8

Now change the number to what you want(i like 4).
Then save the file and try to open Nano again.
it should now have a tabsize of 4

Hello, I am going to try to teach you the BASICS of Filezilla
I will be teaching you how to:

  • Connect to your FTP Server
  • Create Directories/Folders
  • Upload and Download Files
  • Disconnecting from your server

First of all you need to download filezilla:
FileZilla - Download

Then you need to get your Login information:
Login to your Freezoka account(or any other webhost, i happened to use Freezoka), and go to “control panel”.

scroll down to the “Files” section and click on “FTP Access”

Now write down the details you see

Now Open Filezilla, and enter your details and click on quickconnect.

Now the Left list represents your local computer.
and the right list represents your FTP server(your website server).

Now you double click on public_html in the RIGHT “List”.

and you should see every file and folder you got on your server(i got a lot of files&folders)

To create a folder/directory, right click in the right list and click
“Create directory”

A box should popup asking for the folder name, write
“public_html/foldername” and click OK
You can double click on the folder to enter it after you clicked OK

Uploading and Downloading

Upload: simply drag a file from the left list to the right list
Download: drag a file from the right list onto the left list

Almost the same way as you move files and folders in Windows(or Linux).

do disconnect you can either close the program, press CTRL – D,
or click on Server -> Disconnect

And that is pretty much it.
