How to enable SSH?

[anon93884668]

I read the snippet in the instructions that state that to enable SSH need to create a directory labeled SSH in the boot. How do I do that??

I read the snippet in the instructions that state that to enable SSH need to create a directory labeled SSH in the boot.

Not a directory, but a file.

On Windows:
Open Explorer, right click, create new file, name it “ssh” and remove the extension → done

SSH should be enabled on next boot of your device

I got SSH enabled. The confusing part was where it stated to create a directory instead of a file…

Is this in the FlightAware instructions somewhere? I took a quick look but couldn’t see that - if it is in the FA instructions can you let me know where, so I can get it fixed?

I took a look but could not find where I read to create a directory. If I run across it I will let you know…

This is handy for DHCP

Give your Pi a short host name by editing /etc/hostname. (I number my hosts.) Then in Putty I use that short host name for your pi instead of an IP. WINS will automatically connect to the proper IP. I open Putty and enter [host name] and connect. If you are logged in on your Windows system as user pi, use win+r and enter ssh [host name] otherwise use win+r and enter pi@[hostname].
