Remote Software and Connecting - Part 4
Now that we have the IP address for the Raspberry Pi, we need to use another pc to remote into it and complete some of the tasks.
Remote Software
To connect to the Pi, we need to use software that can use the SSH method of connection. You will need to download the program called PuTTY.
Downloading
Download site: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
We only need the Intel x86 version, so just click on the hyperlink title 'putty.exe' and ignore the other links next to it. This should automatically ask if you want to save the file locally.
Save it, and once it's downloaded, run the application.
Configuring PuTTY
Once the application has started, you should see the options available, like below.
Ignoring any advance options, all we need to focus on are the areas indicated above.
Host Name (or ip address): xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- In here will be the address we wrote down earlier. The one above is just an example.
Port: 22
- This is always the port we will be using.
Connection Type: SSH
Now for this next section, if we want the Putty to remember the settings above, so we don't have to type it in again, we need to save it to the 'Default Settings' profile.
Select the title 'Default Settings' in the section under 'Saved Sessions'. Once you have that selected, click on the 'Save' Button to the right of it. This will save the profile.
When ready, click on the 'Open' button at the bottom of the window.
Using PuTTY Command Window
Once the Terminal window opens, (if you have the IP address right) it should ask you for the login and password for the Pi.
So like the default details we used before:
User: pi
Password: raspberry
This will get you to the prompt for the raspberry pi. From here we will start adding software packages and install services.
