 ## Writing files
 
 We've been able to do a lot of work with files that already exist, but what if we want to write our own files? We're not going to type in a FASTA file, but we'll see as we go through other tutorials, there are a lot of reasons we'll want to write a file, or edit an existing file.

 This is good practice when working in bioinformatics. We can create a file called `README.txt` that describes the data files in the directory or documents how the files in that directory were generated. As the name suggests, it's a file that we or others should read to understand the information in that directory.

 We're going to create a new file to put this command in. We'll call it `bad-reads-script.sh`. The `sh` isn't required, but using that extension tells us that it's a shell script.

 Bad reads have a lot of N's, so we're going to look for `NNNNNNNNNN` with `grep`. We want the whole FASTQ record, so we're also going to get the one line above the sequence and the two lines below. We also want to look in all the files that end with `.fastq`, so we're going to use the `*` wildcard.
 
-```bash
-grep -B1 -A2 -h NNNNNNNNNN *.fastq | grep -v '^--' > scripted_bad_reads.txt

 ## Making the script into a program
 
 We had to type `bash` because we needed to tell the computer what program to use to run this script. Instead, we can turn this script into its own program. We need to tell the computer that this script is a program by making the script file executable. We can do this by changing the file permissions. We talked about permissions in [an earlier episode](03-working-with-files.md).
 
-First, let's look at the current permissions.
+!!! terminal-2 "First, let's look at the current permissions."
 
-```bash
-$ ls -l bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+    ```bash
+    $ ls -l bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
 
-```output
--rw-rw-r-- 1 dcuser dcuser 0 Oct 25 21:46 bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+    ```output
+    -rw-rw-r-- 1 dcuser dcuser 0 Oct 25 21:46 bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
 
 We see that it says `-rw-r--r--`. This shows that the file can be read by any user and written to by the file owner (you). We want to change these permissions so that the file can be executed as a program. We use the command `chmod` like we did earlier when we removed write permissions. Here we are adding (`+`) executable permissions (`+x`).
 
-```bash
-$ chmod +x bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+!!! terminal "code"
 
-Now let's look at the permissions again.
+    ```bash
+    $ chmod +x bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
 
-```bash
-$ ls -l bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+!!! terminal-2 "Now let's look at the permissions again."
 
-```output
--rwxrwxr-x 1 dcuser dcuser 0 Oct 25 21:46 bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+    ```bash
+    $ ls -l bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
+    
+    ```output
+    -rwxrwxr-x 1 dcuser dcuser 0 Oct 25 21:46 bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
 
 Now we see that it says `-rwxr-xr-x`. The `x`'s that are there now tell us we can run it as a program. So, let's try it! We'll need to put `./` at the beginning so the computer knows to look here in this directory for the program.
 
-```bash
-$ ./bad-reads-script.sh
-```
+!!! terminal "code"
+
+    ```bash
+    $ ./bad-reads-script.sh
+    ```
 
 The script should run the same way as before, but now we've created our very own computer program!

-### Uploading Data to your Virtual Machine with scp
-
-`scp` stands for 'secure copy protocol', and is a widely used UNIX tool for moving files
-between computers. The simplest way to use `scp` is to run it in your local terminal,
-and use it to copy a single file:
-
-```bash
-scp <file I want to move> <where I want to move it>
-```
-
-Note that you are always running `scp` locally, but that _doesn't_ mean that
-you can only move files from your local computer. In order to move a file from your local computer to an AWS instance, the command would look like this:
-
-```bash
-$ scp <local file> <AWS instance>
-```
-
-To move it back to your local computer, you re-order the `to` and `from` fields:
-
-```bash
-$ scp <AWS instance> <local file>
-```
-
-#### Uploading Data to your Virtual Machine with scp
-
-Open the terminal and use the `scp` command to upload a file (e.g. local_file.txt) to the dcuser home directory:
-
-```bash
-$  scp local_file.txt dcuser@ip.address:/home/dcuser/
-```
-
-#### Downloading Data from your Virtual Machine with scp
-
-Let's download a text file from our remote machine. You should have a file that contains bad reads called ~/shell_data/scripted_bad_reads.txt.
-
-**Tip:** If you are looking for another (or any really) text file in your home directory to use instead, try:
-
-```bash
-$ find ~ -name *.txt
-```
-
-Download the bad reads file in ~/shell_data/scripted_bad_reads.txt to your home ~/Download directory using the following command **(make sure you substitute [dcuser@ip.address](mailto:dcuser@ip.address) with your remote login credentials)**:
-
-```bash
-$ scp dcuser@ip.address:/home/dcuser/shell_data/untrimmed_fastq/scripted_bad_reads.txt ~/Downloads
-```
-
-Remember that in both instances, the command is run from your local machine, we've just flipped the order of the to and from parts of the command.

-### Uploading Data to your Virtual Machine with PSCP
-
-If you're using a Windows PC without Git Bash, we recommend you use the _PSCP_ program.
-This program is from the same suite of tools as the PuTTY program we have been using to connect.
-
-1. If you haven't done so, download pscp from [http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pscp.exe](https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pscp.exe)
-2. Make sure the _PSCP_ program is somewhere you know on your computer. In this case,
-   your Downloads folder is appropriate.
-3. Open the windows [PowerShell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell);
-   go to your start menu/search enter the term **'cmd'**; you will be able to start the shell
-   (the shell should start from C:\\Users\\your-pc-username>).
-4. Change to the Downloads directory:
-
-```bash
-> cd Downloads
-```
-
-5. Locate a file on your computer that you wish to upload (be sure you know the path). Then upload it to your remote machine **(you will need to know your AMI instance address (which starts with ec2), and login credentials)**. You will be prompted to enter a password, and then your upload will begin. **(make sure you substitute 'your-pc-username' for your actual pc username and 'ec2-54-88-126-85.compute-1.amazonaws.com' with your AMI instance address)**
-
-```bash
-C:\User\your-pc-username\Downloads> pscp.exe local_file.txt dcuser@ec2-54-88-126-85.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/home/dcuser/
-```
-
-### Downloading Data from your Virtual Machine with PSCP
-
-1. Follow the instructions in the Upload section to download (if needed) and access the _PSCP_ program (steps 1-3)
-2. Download the text file to your current working directory (represented by a .) using the following command **(make sure you substitute 'your-pc-username' for your actual pc username and 'ec2-54-88-126-85.compute-1.amazonaws.com' with your AMI instance address)**
