Thanks for the reply.
I am running openelec on RPi2. The config and xml files i edit by putting the sd card in my laptop.
The login_client.py file is not visible on my windows so i was under the assumption the only way to edit that file is by ssh and putty

Uh-oh... no RPi experience here

Is the RPi file system "unknown" to Windows (I presume that's the OS on your laptop). Or maybe you need to enable "show hidden files" in Windows explorer ?

When the Pi is up and running kodi, can you see it on your home network ? If so, I would think you can use the same procedure I use.

PuTTY/ssh is needed when kodi is live and running... if you stick the SD card in another machine, you are simply accessing files on a removable medium, and the usual Windows tools should be fine.

But hey... ME-NO-Pi, so a word from the actual RPi users would be good just about now
