Notepad++ and Cygwin

0

I'm connecting to an Ubuntu server hosted by AWS, using Cygwin to connect through my Windows box. Does anyone know of a way I can configure it so that I type a command at the Ubuntu prompt to edit a file? IOW, at the unix prompt I'd like to type something like "n_edit [filename]" and the file would open up in Notepad++ in Windows. Is that possible? Thanks in advance!

Maybe Just use winscp – David Dai – 2019-09-06T22:05:15.837

Thanks for taking the time to write, @DavidDai. WinSCP is a great program, isn't it? I actually use it and like it a lot. I'm just in the command line so much that I was looking for a way to save a step. – DanH – 2019-09-07T23:07:39.663

I’m afraid your question doesn’t make much sense and it could be very difficult to do. Why not take the time to learn vim or Emacs? – David Dai – 2019-09-08T03:58:57.797
