+====== Using WinSCP Synchronize a Directory on a Remote Machine ======
+You can configure WinSCP to monitor a directory on the local machine and keep this synchronized with a directory on a remote machine.  This allows  you to edit and use other tools locally, and the changes will be reflected remotely.
 ====== Overview ======
   - Create a directory on the local system where you will work.
   - Create a directory on the remote system that you wish to keep synchronized with the local directory
-  - Open WinSCP
+  - Open WinSCP and start synchronizing folders
+  - Edit on the local machine using the editor of your choice.
+  - Compile on the remote machine using putty
