I need to use SSH to crontab a file. I downloaded the software, Putty to SSH. But I don't know how to navigate when I'm in. If anyone knows telnet/SSH please help me.

I need to crontab a file in a directory. How to I get into that directory. What should I type?

Thank you.

Well, if I understand correct, you probably just want to change directory on the remote computer??
Then you type

cd directory

or

cd .. (if you want to go one dir lower)

to see files and directories where you are type

ls

To edit the crontab file, on a solaris unix (which I'm using) computer it's somthing like

crontab -e

For more help on crontab, see the manual:

man crontab

For more stuff about unix (linux etc) see some manual.

Hope it helped,
