It's much easier if you're using ssh: on a computer with a
full-blown Linux or Windows distribution open the source
file in one window and a ssh in another. Copy and paste as
you would normally copy and paste between two apps.
If you don't have remote terminal access to the firewall, this
procedure might work for you:
- save the files to an msdos formatted diskette
- mount the diskette from the firewall:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1440 /mnt # for 1.44 MB floppies
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt # for 1.68 MB floppies
- append the source file to the target file in a temporary file:
cat target_file source_file > /tmp/newfile
- edit the temporary file with your editor to make it look like
you want (exact instructions depend on what editor you're using)
- back up the original
cp target_file target_file.bak
- move the temp file over the original
mv /tmp/newfile target_file
Again, if you're doing much of this, ssh is *the* way to go. If
you need an ssh client for windows, I highly recommend putty[1].
