I use cyberduck (putty does the same) to ssh into the pineapple, then save the original files on my computer and replace what I want or what I want to test. IF something gets messed up Just replace the file back with the original file you saved on your computer. I know thats old school, but it works. If you get your layout how you want it, then just copy the NEW edited files over to your computer so you have a backup of your preferred layout. Then, when you do a firmware update, you can just drag the NEW edited files over to replace them from your computer. Hope that helps, and makes sense.
