For this purpose we first change once the directory. Therefore we create a new virtual user with access to a specified path. We choose “standalone” (see image).īasically, here it would be already done, but with this configuration each user has access to his own home directory (for example /home/ pi).

While installing it will ask how ProFTP should be started. All B/B+ models (including the Raspberry Pi Model 2B / 3) have a 100 Mbit ethernet port, which allows fast data transfer rates.įirst of all you need to install the server package. Alternatively you can also use an external hdd ( US / UK). If you want to use the Pi as a network mass storage you should have enough empty space. You will be able to access the whole sd card ( US / UK). However this tutorial is not only for web server but can also be used for easy file transfer between Raspberry Pi and your PC. Such a server is very useful if you use your Pi as a web server or even if you want to have a network storage, which can also be accessed outside of your network if an DNS server is installed.

Most SSH clients will have the port number filled in already.For uploading files on a Raspberry Pi you should install a FTP server.

Launch PuTTY (or another SSH client) on your Windows PC and enter your Pi’s IP address.

If you don’t already know it, you can follow this guide which details several methods of determining your Pi’s IP address.

Assuming you’re certain that SSH is enabled on your Pi, next you’ll need to find your Pi’s IP address in order to connect to it with an SSH client like PuTTY.

If you’re starting from scratch with a Raspberry Pi 4, this getting started guide includes instructions on how to enable SSH by creating a text file on the SD card within your Raspberry Pi. Just be sure to download and install it before you begin.

You can use whatever SSH client you want. We like PuTTY because it’s open source software that’s completely developed and supported by a team of volunteers. PuTTY is one of several SSH clients that are freely available. We’ll start with how to use SSH to connect to your Raspberry Pi from a Windows PC on your network using PuTTY.
