Sometimes it's necessary to transfer files from your machine to the Pi. This includes updates to the tools or GUI. To perform this, you must first enable the SSH server on your Pi. This is done by following the steps in Connecting to your Pi over SSH.

  1. Navigate a command line window on your machine to the location where the files you wish to send are stored.

  2. Send file to the Pi:

scp FILE_TO_SEND pi@raspberrypi:
  1. If you wish to send the contents of a folder, add the -r flag:
scp -r FOLDER_TO_SEND pi@raspberrypi:
