Copying Files to Raspberry Pi

By enabling SSH in the Raspberry Pi configuration utility (raspi-config), sFTP becomes available.

To connect to a Raspberry Pi from Windows using sFTP, use an sFTP-compatible client such as WinSCP.

You can download WinSCP from the following page:

Using VNC (Virtual Network Computing)

To operate the Raspbian GUI environment from a development PC, install a VNC server on the Raspberry Pi.

You can download a VNC client from the following page:

  • http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/win95/net/se324464.html
$ su
# apt-get install tightvncserver

During installation, you will be prompted to enter a password for VNC server access. Set an appropriate password.

After installing the VNC server, connect to the Raspberry Pi via SSH from your development PC and start the VNC server.

$ vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x600 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
Figure 4-2. Starting the VNC Server

To connect to the VNC server from Windows, use a VNC client application such as RealVNC.
