Havent used it myself but webmin is certainly very useful. Oh, You will have install webmin from the testing branch since there seems to be some problems with webmin in stable.

Use pscp from PuTTY package. It's a scriptable scp client for Windows. After putting the file on remote server you can issue the: /etc/init.d/dhcp restart command via PuTTY (which I think is scriptable, too), or alternatively write a simple file monitor on your Debian box and restart the DHCP server when the configuration file is changed.

Remotely editing files
Hi all, I hope this is an acceptable list to ask this... Im a Windows guy by trade, however recently have been gradually switching our servers from Microsoft to Debian. Ooh I love apt-get :o). So does my now useful old Pentium 233! Anyway, as part of this I wanted to find a way to remotely manage a DHCP configuration file, in an automated fashion. When we add a new customer to a portion of our network, depending upon circumstances we set up some DHCP configurations for them. At the moment, I do this manually, but I would like to be able to have it happen automatically when I add the customer to the Network Management app (which is web based). All I need to do, is find a way to securely connect to the Debian system (from a windows server at this stage, the programmer isn't confident to work in a deb environment) and load, modify and save the dhcp.conf file. Better is be able to restart DHCP afterwards. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I might go about achieving this? The box is pretty secure, and relies on SSH for remote administration. Access, as I said, would be an automated process from a Windows based system. Im thinking (and please, remember im a newbie!) that I should use a process that grabs the file, changes it, and replaces the old file, and use a cron job to enact the changes on the hour. Any better ways? Realtime updating of the DHCP configuration would be ideal. Regards, Greg
