Windows tools

File copy

Use winscp (from https://winscp.net/eng/download.php?TB_iframe) to move files to and from the raspberry pi.

- or use the Samba share explained earlier.

Terminal access

Use putty (from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) to get terminal access to the raspberry.

To connect to raspberry using a cable (from raspberry direct to a PC) requires that both has a manually set IP adress. The Raspberry side is 192.168.0.2, and you should probably manually set the IP of your PC to the same local net, e.g. 192.168.0.100.

Graphical applications from Windows

Linux uses X or (X-display) for graphical applications.

There are several options to show Linux X-graphics in Windows, one of them is X410

You can test it for 14 days for free.

It is not realy needed, as the most essential applications are text based. But at times it is nice to be able to run graphical applications on the Raspberry Pi without having to mount a screen.

Putty with graphics

When you start an application from an ssh connection (using Putty), then it works fine if it is a terminal (text-based) application, but not for graphics.

Start x410 (in the background)

When you start Putty, the start dialogue looks like this:

Select SSH and type the name of the raspberry pi - here the name is Zephyr so type Zephyr.local. Port number is fine as is.

But X-forwarding is missing. In the list on the left find "Connection" -> "SSH" -> x11, as below

Check "Enable X-forwarding"

Go back to the session, write a name in "saved sessions" to save the session configuration for next time, and press save.

Press open to start a session with X-forwarding.

Try to start a graphical application:

geany

and you should see a python IDE, something like
