In case you are using different names, then replace them accordingly. Ssh In the above commands pi is my user account, while raspberry is the hostname. Ssh if you don’t have access to the router, use the commands below: ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local If you are on Linux, use the Terminal, Windows users can opt for Putty. So we need to set up remote access for Raspberry Pi using VNC. The bad news is that we need to enable it using some other means. The good news is that Raspbian (the recommended Raspberry Pi operating system) comes with RealVNC installed by default. For example, the user may want to see the graph of production done at the XYZ industry. Using RealVNC to access the Raspberry Pi’s graphical desktop. But sometimes we need to access desktop as per project requirement. Once done, execute the command below on your PC. In my previous blog, I have provided the details of how to set up Raspberry Pi in headless mode and how to SSH into the system. You can log in to your router and list the connected devices. To connect via SSH, you will need to know your Raspberry’s IP-address. If you have not yet enabled SSH on your Pi, read our post on connecting to Wi-Fi and allowing SSH without the monitor on Raspberry.

To enable VNC via the terminal, open a terminal window and enter sudo. Now click on Interfaces and click enable next to VNC and click OK. To do so via the Desktop, go to the start menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration. It can be easily enabled both using the Desktop and via the terminal. Make sure you are not using the default password. By default, VNC is disabled on the Raspberry Pi. Choose the Interfaces tab and set both SSH and VNC to Enabled. Click on the main menu and choose Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration. With that necessary background information, let’s dive in and get started. Turn on SSH and VNC To connect remotely, SSH and VNC must be activated on Raspberry Pi.

It makes use of the Frame Buffer protocol (RFB), which allows you to transmit the keyboard and mouse events from your PC (thin client) to the remote computer (thick client), which relays back the graphical-screen updates. A VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a desktop sharing system that enables you to connect remotely to another computer.
