SSH

Return to Raspberry Pi Guide

Author’s note: although this guide is intended for the Raspberry Pi, SSH is actually a universal tool that will work with most *nix-based operating systems, like Linux, Unix, macOS, BSD, and others. Howver, the exact steps will differ between operating systems.

SSH, also called Secure Shell, is a super powerful tool that allows you to remotely connect ao computer and execute commands. However, it also supports features like file upload, X11 forwarding (seeing your windows remotely), and more. This guide is intended for people who are trying to SSH into their Raspberry Pi and will contain information that is Raspberry Pi-specific.
