Network Access

Install Putty

Putty is the recommended SSH client (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_SSH_clients).

Install Putty and connect to the IP address on the small robot display.

Putty setup for SSH connection and IP Login with username local - password is found in the course resources

Once connected, you have a command line control of the Raspberry Pi.

Alternative SSH connection

Most PCs have a command line and a command line SSH-client version, try

ssh local@10.197.218.202

See also the similar page Network access.

Fail to connect

If the robot does not have an IP, consult Network_setup and maybe use the local link option.

Access to files on Raspberry

All operating systems can be setup to access and modify files on Raspberry.

Windows

On a Windows computer WinScp is a satisfactory solution, but "RealFTP" may be cheaper:

Connect using the above address (and port 22), you could get something like:

RealFTP (with Danish lead test)

Linux (and Mac?)

On Linux-based platforms, you could use SSHFS to mount a remote directory on your platform.

In a terminal, create an empty directory (here jjj) and mount the remote directory:

mkdir jjj
sshfs local@10.197.218.202: jjj
password: 
cd jjj
ls
Documents  Downloads  git  mission_start.bash  Music  on_reboot.bash  rebootinfo.txt  svn  Video

In the 'sshfs' command, remember the ':' after the IP address.

Remember to unmount

umount jjj
