Connect To Raspberry Pi With SSH Using Putty

SSH Connection To Raspberry Pi

You have the Raspberry Pi with an installed operating system and it is connected to the Internet. In this case, it does not have a monitor you will use because you simply want to access and program it from the command line. Well, once you open Putty, you can connect and use the command line in less than a minute. The following steps will demonstrate this connection.

To connect to the Raspberry Pi,

1) Open Putty (putty.exe).
2) Add the local ip address assigned by your router.

3) Login as ‘pi’. This is the default use with the Raspian operating system.

4) Type your password and hit ‘Enter’ on your keyboard. By default, the password is ‘raspberry’. You may want to change it to something stronger than that.

5) Congratulations. You are logged in and can use the command line.
