Since I don&amp;#39;t use MS Windows I never have to deal with the client setup. A Pi build for me always includes dropping a blank file called ssh into the /boot directory after imaging a SD card. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As usual from you, an excellent compilation of resources. I&amp;#39;m going to bookmark it and share it with my students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Feb 2020 07:44:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>sannerwind</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Great article. 1) How do you run&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; say a python program in the PI, under an IDE, executing the IDE commands from the PC?&amp;nbsp; Can you load both the Python and its IDE into the PI. Without an IDE programming is very difficult. 2) Is there an easy way to set up a PI with Python, IDE, a mouse and keyboard, Big screen (At least say 20 inches)? But some backup that can permit the PC-RPI data transfers?&amp;nbsp; Thanks in advance Jay Rosenberg, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-email-small" href="mailto:Sannerwind@gmail.com"&gt;Sannerwind@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jul 2019 10:21:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>diablero</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Very nice post, thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Oct 2018 00:06:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>ninjatrent</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Shabaz. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a great resource of pi goodness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very cool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Feb 2018 22:33:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>bmag</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;just what i needed thank you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Dec 2017 10:01:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>vigneshaithal</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Very Useful, Thank you:)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:33:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>chnagu</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;When i am trying to take RDP from a Windows system, i&amp;#39;m able to login without password too, can you let me know how to get it solve. i&amp;#39;m looking for a secure login.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3220&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Accessing and Controlling the Pi</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/accessing-and-controlling-the-pi</link><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jul 2017 22:50:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8a57a41f-5641-436b-804a-decb3d2a87aa</guid><dc:creator>jeremise6</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Great Job, you&amp;#39;ve inspired me.
