Newbie with HT-PI-G2 need help editing a file in Linux

[Rupp]

You have to login to HS using something like Putty. Then edit the file.

I tried that and can't seem to find that specific file. I don't know how to find that file using vi.

I'd recommend Googling how to edit a file in Linux for more information. VI is one of a few ways. It's archaic and odd but hey it's Linux.

I have the HT-PI-G2 and it is working fine. I am using the Tuya plugin in which one of the files (LocalApiProducts.json) which is located in /USR/Local/Homeseer/Data/Tuya/ directory. I need to edit that file and I try to use Firezilla in which I see the file but can't edit it (It says permission denied). I tried using Putty but have no idea how to get to that directory and edit it. Can it be done and if so how? A quick lessen from one of you masters would be great!

Thanks in advance.
