== Introduction ==

The Raspberry Pi files can be accessed and manipulated like a regular file browser.

This is convenient when the software is developed on another computer.

== Windows ==

WinSCP is a file manager that can include files on the Raspberry; get it from

 https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/

== Linux ==

The file browser (Nautilus (ubuntu) or Dolphin (Kubuntu)) can use an SSH connection to browse the files on a remote Linux (like the Raspberry Pi).

=== Dolphin ===

In the location field, write:

 fish://local@10.197.218.22

=== Nautilus ===

@todo

== Graphics generated on the Raspberry ==

To get the graphics transferred from the Raspberry to a screen on another computer, access using the 'X' option:

 ssh -X local@10.197.218.22 

When starting an application with a graphical interface (like the 'Teensy' loader or 'showimage(...)' in openCV), the Raspberry will ask if the ssh client understands X-graphics.
A Linux client does understand as default.

For Windows, a translator is needed, install, e.g. 'CvXsrv' from

 https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/
