Applications used for F5 (BIG-IP) implementation/administration??

I use fileZilla for transferring files and chrome for management. I haven't had any problem with it so far.

Putty for SSH and serial access. And a big ~/.bashrc file for command aliases :)

I use a .bashrc file mainly for aliases to save on typing out command commands:

Nice, i didnt realise you could do this, although i have done this previously in Cisco IOS

-A good text editor.

 

My prefencence is textpad, it is tried and tested. You can download an addon to do tcl syntax colouring and it also allows you to diffs of files. Also consider Notepadd++

 

 

-A file comparison tool.

 

If you don't like textpad or its diff functionality and need something to compare files then Beyond Compare is excellent.
