Learn vi in 100 minutes.
If your working environment has Linux or Unix systems in it, then you must have heard about vi the text editor.
Everything would be just faster if you could edit the text files in shell window with vi, rather than transfer them to a windows with (S)FTP –> Edit with notepad –> transfer back to *NIX.
