[NFB-Web] Accessible SSH Client

[Joe Orozco]

I prefer using WinSCP over FileZilla, but regardless, Amazon is a pain
in the ass and does not allow permission changes using these types of
clients. You can view files this way, but if you want to change
permissions, upload files, or do things I feel are pretty fundamental,
they want you to adjust settings using their SSH browser option or use
an SSH client to make those adjustments. They are rather annoying, but
given the low price for a virtual server compared to conventional web
hosts, I guess I'll suck it up and learn how to use things like PuTTY.
If anyone has a helpful guide to learn it with JAWS, I would be
extremely appreciative. I know nothing about the command line, so
please do feel free to write to me as though I am ignorant. Trust me,
I am, but I'm going to learn this!

Joe
