<p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:black">Filezilla is probably the way most people are going these days. That would let you change permissions, upload, and download in a graphical user interface.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:black">If you really do want the command line, I suggest trying Windows powershell as a starting point. It should allow you to SSH directly in to a remote machine. If it doesn't, look for putty. I do most of my command line work in a Linux environment these days, but up to a couple of years ago, this was the preferred SSH command line for windows. I don't believe it is perfect out of the box though. You may have to do some clever machinations to get it to work with jaws.</p>

I’m using JAWS and am trying to communicate with my server on Amazon. Further, how much programming language will I need to know to execute commands? I’ve seen instructions on the web. The commands seem straightforward, but I would primarily be copying and pasting what I find to do things like change file permissions and such.
