But putty has be installed on the machine you are working on, right?

I need to have access on, say a library computer, where no local software
can be installed. I can log in to webmin and edit the files via their 
file manager.  The actual edit process does -not- appear to be java,
but the file manager to select the file -is- java so I can't select 
the file to edit.
