Retropie Setup Script: sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.shĮdit Files with Nano: sudo nano /path/to/file.txtĬhange owner to Pi: sudo chown pi:pi filetobechangedĬhange owner of folder and all files in folder to Pi: sudo chown -R pi:pi /folder/to/be/changed This allows users to remotely make changes, reboot, and instantly view performance changes. Do not use root when transferring ROMs or other tasks available to the default pi user.įor more advanced users, root access can more easily allow for editing protected files such as the config.txt when overclocking.
Warning! Root access is meant for advanced users only, and only for functions not possible with the pi user. Note: The IP address is unique to your local network, and can be found by selecting the Show IP option in the RetroPie menu after booting up your Raspberry Pi. In your chosen client, enter the following: These will be the same with any client (WinSCP, Putty, MobaXterm, etc). There is a workaround to enable SSH:įour credentials are needed to remotely connect to your Raspberry Pi: IP address, port, username, and password. When using RetroPie with BerryBoot you cannot use raspi-config.
Console commands are also possible (and even integrates with Putty) but is a secondary user interface found in the Commands > Open Terminal or Commands > Open in Putty menus.
Putty - Very simplistic access to allow for console commands, but does not feature the ease of drag & drop for ROMs and other files.These need to be installed on the PC, Mac, or other computer you are using to connect to the Raspberry Pi: Here are a few (free) popular clients to try. NOTE: Your Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to the same network/router (either via Ethernet or Wifi Dongle) as the computer you are accessing it from. For this instruction and for the sake of simplicity, this guide assumes that both the Raspberry Pi and the computer you are using to remotely connect to it are on the same local network. This provides a means for adding roms, changing configuration, updates, and other convienient procedures by using SSH and SFTP clients to connect to the Raspberry Pi.
