Sharing Files With Raspberry Pi

Uploading files directly from your PC to your Pi without Internet?
Yes it is possible!
Downloading from it is possible too.

For this to work you should already know how to connect to Raspberry Pi via SSH
If you don't then click here to find out.

Watch the video on how to share files:


The sftp (SSH File Transfer Protocol) makes the whole process possible. To use it:
  • Download and install FileZilla - download link here
  • Open FileZilla, in the top left corner enter your Pi's IP address in the Host column
  • In username filed enter 'pi'
  • In the password filed enter the password for your Pi
  • Enter 22 in Port and hit Quickconnect
  • You should now see files on your computer on the left and files on your Raspberry Pi on the right.
Now you can access all the files like you do on a normal computer. You can download and upload files. It also has many other options like like making a file executable which is similar to the command chmod that we use in the terminal.
FileZilla can be very useful if you need to edit your codes in your computer rather than using a text editor inside Putty.
