Putty and editing files on OpenPLi
You can change many settings using the Graphical User Interface (GUI), but in some cases it can be necessary to access the files manually. You can do this by downloading and using Putty. By default you can login with telnet, so if you use puttytel.exe (a Telnet-only client) and login your box. By default there is no password for the root, so login with "root" and when asked for a password, just hit enter.
Recording with a Zapper (eg. Vu Zero / Vu Solo Se)
