Introduction to Remote Access

Sometimes you need to access a Raspberry Pi without connecting it to a monitor. Perhaps the Pi is embedded in something like a robot, or you may want to view some information from it from elsewhere. Or perhaps you simply don’t have a spare monitor!

Setting up an SSH Server

You can access the command line of a Raspberry Pi remotely from another computer or device on the same network using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

Secure Shell from Linux or Mac OS

You can use SSH to connect to your Raspberry Pi from a Linux desktop, another Raspberry Pi, or from an Apple Mac without installing additional software.

Secure Shell from Windows 10

You can use SSH to connect to your Raspberry Pi from a Windows 10 computer that is using October 2018 Update or later without having to use third-party clients.

Passwordless SSH Access

It is possible to configure your Raspberry Pi to allow access from another computer without needing to provide a password each time you connect. To do this, you need to use an SSH key instead of a password. To generate an SSH key:

Using Secure Copy

Secure Copy ( scp) is a command for sending files over SSH. This means you can copy files between computers, say from your Raspberry Pi to your desktop or laptop, or vice-versa.

Using rsync

You can use the tool rsync to synchronise folders between computers. You might want to transfer some files from your desktop computer or laptop to your Pi, for example, and for them to be kept up to date, or you might want the pictures taken by your Pi transferred to your computer automatically.
