[Spacewalk-list] FW: Spacewalk 1.1 Configuration Channels - Uploading Files

[Colin Coe]

Sure, if you are on the Linux server that you want to upload files,
simply start a browser, login to spacewalk via the web UI go to the
config channel pages and upload the file.

Its a lot easier thought to install rncfg-management on the spacewalk
clients and use rhncfg-manager.  All of the rhncfg-* utils can be
installed on RHN Satellite/Spacewalk clients.

Hope that helps.
