Cloud-9: How to open a file in the c9-editor from c9-terminal

Question

Is there a way to open a file not from the workspace tree view but from the c9-terminal tab?

Background: c9 doesn´t allow me to set the workspace path to / for a use

Answer 1

If you want to open any file from / the cloud 9 IDE must have permission. While configuring the C9 IDE give root as the user name and copy paste the public key in .ssh folder of root, allow root login in the ssh d config ,then you will be able to edit any file from the IDE.
