  1. It's very simple use any text editor like geany, vscode, textpad, gedit(defualt for linux-ubuntu version). Write your code let's say we have to print hello python so write print ('hello python') and save it with .py extension Ex. script.py . Then you can run your code in geany directly by presing F5 button from keyboard else you can run it by using terminal; open terminal/cmd, locate to the path where you saved your code and run it using python scirpt.py. Refer this.

  2. If u need to transfer files to your server you can use ftp client software like filezilla OR using scp you can share files between two computers connected in a network using command like this. scp <file/path/on/your/system> <user>@<remote_server_ip_address>:</full/path/to/save/file/on/server>, for example scp </home/user/script.py> <test>@<xxx.xxx.xx.x>:</home/test/>

Python is a key element to Bioinformatics and i am just learning the basics of python to get into bioinformatics. so asking about the basics of something that is basically related to bioinformatics is ok. I just was in hurry and did not mention the bioinformatics details and I am solving a bioinformatics problem using python" and because i am just a new to python i went directly into the python part and forget to mention its direct relation to the bioinformatics problem that I am using python for. Sorry for not not listing the complementary details to my question Would you please open my python related bioinformatics question to get some help please?

Thanks

Hello onemore100iq ,

the main topic of this site is bioinformatics and not programming. So other places for general questions about "how to program" like stackoverflow fits better.

If you have a specific bioinformatic task, you try to solve with python, you are vere welcom to start a new question, where you describe what's your goal, what you've already tried and where you get stuck.
