6 WinUae requests

[foleyjo]

I've installed WinUae on my laptop as I intend to use OS3.9 instead of windows as my main operating system. I just have a few questions to help me use Amiga as much as possible for my daily tasks (mainly software replacements).

1 - Is there a way to automatically switch between screenmodes on startup. I sometimes switch between using the laptop display and tv display which are different resolutions. Is there a command that I can add to start-up sequence which checks if a screen mode is available and if not select the other screen mode?

2- Is there a decent SSH client I can use to remote onto a linux server. Something like putty on the PC?

3 - What would you recommend as an ftp client for transferring files back and forth between the linux server?

4 - Is there any text editors that I can use to edit files on the linux server without having to download and upload each time? Something like notepad++ where it automatically downloads and uploads the files so you don't have to use an external ftp client for the task

5 - Does anyone know of any software similar to winlaunch that works with 64bit winuae?

6 - Does anyone know where I can find tutorials on how to create windows and display data from xml files in them (including image files)

I currently use Kodi and AEL (advanced emulation launcher) to launch my emulator roms and Gamebase 64 for the c64 roms but I'd prefer to do this directly from winuae. I can't find an amiga application that would allow me to do this so I thought I'd see if I could make my own. I just can't find any decent development guides for Amiga development

Thanks guys. Knew it wouldn't take long to get help here.

1 For the screenmode I found something on aminet called display mode. Will stick with them.

2 3 & 4 - I think it might be easier to stick with the windows apps I currently use for remote work then. I find notepad++ easier than VIM for the editing work that I do.

5 Winlaunch allows the launching of windows applications without leaving workbench. So the command 'winlaunch cmd >nil;' will open up a windows dos prompt window.

[@Thomas don't know why I didn't try that. I'll give it a go when I get home.]
 
6 Thanks for the link. I found a few xml libraries on aminet. I'm just unsure how to use them at the moment. I'll see what I can do. Not much probably but worth a try anyway.

Just rename winuae64.exe into winuae.exe and use winlaunch as before?

That didn't work

I assume that's the Allow Native Code option. If so then yes I did as I guessed it was needed for winlaunch to work.

So will the PCs anti-virus software not protect me from attacks if this option is selected?
