Welcome back to the workshop (yes, it’s been a while)!
Today, we will examine three remote access methods for the Raspberry Pi. Whether your Pi is in the same room or in another country, whether you need full GUI access or just a terminal, we have a method for you.
We will look at SSH, which provides a secure shell for terminal access. Perfect if you need to update the Pi, restart it, or run a Python script.
Then, we will move to VNC to get a full GUI screen that we can use as if we were directly connected to the Raspberry Pi.
Finally, we’ll examine the newest remote access method, Raspberry Pi Connect. This product provides either terminal or GUI access from anywhere in the world using a web browser. You’ll need a free Raspberry Pi account to use Pi Connect.
Here is the Table of contents for today’s video:

linux ftp command
Windows now have OpenSSH built in. Can run from command line or powershell. But Windows Terminal is a great app for running cmd or pwsh.
You videos contain very useful Information but are way too long. I wish you would get to the Point under 10mins . Anyway thanks 🙂
How to enable HFP on rpi?
13:32 instead of reading "ampersand sign" (&), it should read as "at sign" (@).
Thank you for that. I have done VNC, SSH and X-windows connections to Pi's, Solaris, HP-UX and Xenix systems for many years and been self-taught. That was the most complete tutorial I've ever seen.
I'm a little afraid of Pi Connect – it sounds an awful lot like a PI ecosystem and remote desktop with all the headaches and security issues of that. Having to have a PI account is eerily like Win11. I know nothing is free, and you should pay for what you use, but I think think I'm going to stick with VNC for the near future.
Hi Bill. Always a great video, but with the greatest respect, could you please pause and take a breath in your narration. Listening is akin to reading text without any punctuation. Slow down a bit and make things a lot easier to follow.
(It’s not just Bill, it seems to be a North American thing to talk at high speed without pausing for breath…)
I use remote desktop… I have too many devices at home. 2 proliant servers, 1 windows server, a couple windows laptops and a couple macbook pros… I use Remote desktop from my phone and it's really simple.
Thank you again for another great video content! ❤️ Hope that you and your mother got a lot better 🙏
Good to have you back, Bill !
does it have the "ifconfig" command installed? when I don't know the interface of the IPs from "hostname -I", I use that "ifconfig" command
Glad you are back. Another remote access command worth knowing about in scp – secure copy – and easy to use way to transfer files between computers. It is a good friend of ssh. Likely already installed if you have ssh installed.
Hope everything is getting better health-wise with you and yours
An excellent video and source of information, thank you so much. I agree with comments from others in that the quality and clarity of the information you provide via the visuals are the key to the transfer of knowledge. You have given me a good understanding of the background to things that I formerly just took for granted.
I've jumped straight to the Pi Connect method. It's surprisingly straight forward and fast. Thanks for the video. Nice to have you back.
Another great videos with clear explanation of the protocols. Thank you!
I have a network of Pi’s in 2 countries as part of my 2 home automation setup. These all communicate with each other using MQTT over a free ZeroTier secure network which I highly recommend to other users as their is no VPN server in the network. Check it out
Lte with ipv6 is difficult
Thank you sir for the very good tutorial video
WiFi does not necessarily have a separate subnet. You can have WiFi on the same subnet on the same subnet by using Wireless Access Points instead of a WiFi-enabled router.
Thank you Bill. It was 1989 when I met TCP/IP during my Comp Sci study.
Glad to see you back, Bill. I've used Linux since 2002, and bought the Pi 1 when it was released. The terminal is my area of expertise via ssh!
ifconfig will also get you that info from the terminal.
As always, great video 🙌
Thanks Bill! Enjoying my Rpi5.
Thx. Excellent turtorial (as always).
Also, you can host an Apache server on the pi and make a nice UI that works on the local network. That can execute bash script commands so lots of control.
Thanks a lot it's fine to see you back😍
Very well put together video, thank you!
In previous Pi OS's I've had problems with VNC when the Pi is headless (no monitor connected) especially with Python graphics. I've had to use a dummy HDMI dongle to get it to work.
Did they fix that with Bookworm?
Very neat , Very organised, Very Simple
Thank you.
Technically WiFi is a layer 2 protocol (MAC addressing) and not layer 3 (IP). One's WiFi might not be on a different subnet than one's wired Ethernet like you have.
Granted the Pi's Ethernet and WiFi connections are both layer 3 so the can be on same or different subnets.
It is really interesting how devices really communicate when on the same subnet as determined by the IP and subnet mask.
Я ставлю zerotier, и все проблемы решены!
glad you're back. Take care
