Help Me To Edit My /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources File On A Godaddy Dedicated Server?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-09-05   Tags: , , , , , ,

Hi, I am trying to edit a file on the root directory on my server. It is a dedicated server on godaddy. I have version CentOS release 4.4 (Final) i686 i386 GNU/Linux and the kernel is 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL and Apache (web server)
Version: 2.0.52-28.ent.centos4
I have PuttY and CuteFTP Pro as well as the Simple Control Panel (Godaddy’s Simple Control Panel)
How can I gain permissions to edit that source file (or any other file in the root)?
I am familiar with the su – root command but I can’t find where to use it in CuteFTP.
In PuttY I can gain root permissions but don’t see a feature to edit and save a file like the FTP view of CuteFTP.
In Godaddy’s Simple Control Panel I don’t see any option to let me do any sort of an edit and save the changes I made to a file.
Help please, I am just learning!

    ftp into root should never be done. Surely a user ssh connection with X forwarding on will allow you to access the machine, then calling up a root config tool, or a root file manager will give you full control on the machine. Do NOT allow root ssh logins!
