flamey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

What options do I have in reading/writing remote files on located on Linux machine from Windows system?

I have IP, Login and Password for the remote Linux system, and I can manually access it (SSH) and do the editing. But I need to update some files automatically.

I guess one option could be telneting in, reading using 'cat' command, and overwriting via 'echo' and redirect (?? - i'm not Linux user). But is there an option to do it more gracefully?

Edit: I should've mentioned that I can't do anything in Linux side - this is for testing, not administration. That's why it has to be done from outside.
