Sometimes, you need to access a Raspberry Pi without connecting it to a monitor. That's where SSH comes in. Remote access isn't difficult using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

Raspberry Pi Connect can replace both SSH (Secure Shell) and VNC as a way of remotely accessing your Raspberry Pi.

Enter Raspberry Pi Connect, a new built-in way to access a Raspberry Pi from nearly anywhere you can open a browser, whether to control yourself or provide remote assistance.

You'd have to connect your computer to the new Wi-Fi network and find the Pi's new IP address before you can reconnect via SSH.

The tiny Raspberry Pi is an incredibly versatile computer, but in order to maximize its capabilities, you'll first need to connect it to a Wi-Fi network.

If you are connected to your Raspberry Pi via a cable or a wireless router a few feet away, SSH can provide you with an encrypted connection straight to the box.

Last time I showed you how to expose a web service on a Raspberry Pi (or, actually, any kind of device) by using a reverse proxy from Pagekite. On your Pi, you just need a simple Python script.

While there already several ways to connect to your Raspberry Pi, the official Connect tool is potentially easier.
