If you SSH into a Touch and make file changes, then reboot by pulling the plug or pushing the button on the back you will loose the last changes you made. File system changes go to a memory buffer and if you just power off they are lost. To get them into the FLASH memory you need to either type the command: sync Before pulling the plug, or reboot using the command: reboot The command reboot does a sync before shutting the device down. It can be rather frustrating if you don't know this!
