How to remote control Raspberry

We can create server or things with Raspberry pi. It’s not expensive and its performance is good for simple job. We need monitor to handle it. But I don’t feel good to carry the monitor(e.g. 7-inch raspberry-pi monitor) every time. In that case, we can remote-access to raspberry with CLI/GUI environment.

SSH : CLI environment remote control

SSH stands for Secure Shell Protocol. SSH usually is used for data transfer and remote control. In order to remote access to raspberry pi, it has to be enable in SSH.

Click the Raspberry pi Icon (Upper-Left menu) → Raspberry PI Configuration. And, Check the SSH as Enable.

remote-control

Next, to remote access, download Putty.

Putty

Put the Raspberry pi ip into the Host Name(or IP address) and click the open button. You can easily verify Raspberry pi ip in the terminal with ifconfig command. And unless you have changed the passward, your initial ID : pi, Passward : raspberry. Thus, you type it.

ssh_connect

SSH : data transfer with WinSCP

SSH can not only remote control but also data transfer. First, enable SSH in Raspberry pi. And download WinSCP. This program supports data transfer from Window to Raspberry pi.

winscp_login

In the same way, type your ip in host name and connect. That’s it!

winscp_connect

You can transfer data with GUI environment.

VNC : GUI environment remote control

It’s simpler than SSH method. Download VNC viewer.

like SSH setting, Raspberry pi need to be enable VNC.

vnc

Run VNC viewer you downloaded.

vnc_viewer

Type Raspberry pi Username and Password(pi, raspberry)

nvc_connect

How to set static IP in Raspberry pi ?

Whenever you connect to Raspberry pi, you must know IP address. But without setting, Raspberry pi set IP as automatically. In other words, you should check the ip address when you try to connect. we don’t feel like it. Let’s look into the way how to set static IP address.

first, get Gateway in terminal with netstat -nr command.

gateway

The address is maybe different mine with yours. Next, revise the dhcpcd.conf file.

sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf

In this file, add the static ip and gateway you searched like below.

interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.0.10
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

interface wlan0 : If you use wifi then, use wlan0, if you use LAN, use eth0.
static ip_address=192.168.0.10 : type what address you want to set
static routers=192.168.0.1 : set gateway
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 : set gateway
