How to SSH into Raspberry Pi

SSH, or the Secure Shell Protocol, is a network protocol that allows for safe access of
another computer over an unsecure network. This connection, also called an SSH
tunnel, is stable, secure, and widely used by system administrators to manage systems
and applications remotely.

This blog covers the steps on how to SSH into a Raspberry Pi system, such as
our Industrial Raspberry Pi series.

Before setting this up, you’ll first need to ensure SSH is enabled. For security reasons,
this feature is disabled by default. If SSH is already enabled and you already know your
Raspberry Pi’s IP, you can skip the first three steps and go directly to How to SSH into
Raspberry Pi.

Note: Steps and/or system specifics may differ from the steps listed below.

How to enable SSH from an existing Raspberry Pi OS


Note: This step assumes that the Raspberry Pi OS is already installed. If you are
installing the Raspberry Pi OS from a removable media device (such as an SD card or
a USB flash drive), skip directly to How to enable SSH during installation.

To enable SSH, connect your Raspberry Pi to a monitor and follow these steps:

Click on the Raspberry Pi icon on the desktop. Navigate to Preferences, then click
on Raspberry Pi Configuration.

Click on the Interfaces tab and select Enable in the options for SSH.

Click OK.

Alternatively:

Open the Raspberry Pi Terminal.

Enter the command: sudo raspi-config

Use the arrow keys to navigate to Interfacing Options. Press the Enter key.

Go to SSH, and press enter.

When prompted, select <Yes>.

Select Enter to confirm, then click Finish to exit raspi-config.

Close the terminal window.

How to enable SSH during installation


If you’re installing Raspberry Pi from a removable media device for the first time, follow
these steps to enable SSH:

Navigate to Advanced Options in Raspberry Pi Imager.

Click the checkbox next to Enable SSH.

Set up a username and password.*

Select Configure wireless LAN, and fill in the details.

Click Save, and write the operating system to the storage device of your choice.

*By default, the username is set to pi and the password is set to raspberry. Keeping the
default username and password opens up your Raspberry Pi to malware attacks, so it’s
important to always set up your own secure username and password before connecting
your Raspberry Pi to the internet.

How to find Raspberry Pi IP


Before you can create an SSH tunnel, you’ll need to find out the IP address of your
Raspberry Pi or its hostname. By default, your Raspberry Pi’s hostname will be set to
either raspberrypi or raspberrypi.local.

Raspberry Pi IP
The easiest way to find out the IP address of your Raspberry Pi is to check your router’s
homepage, but if your Raspberry Pi is connected to a monitor, you can also check it by
entering the following terminal command:

“hostname -I” *

*Note that this character is a capital i.

How to SSH into Raspberry Pi


Now that you have SSH enabled and you have the IP, you’re ready to SSH into your
Raspberry Pi. The steps to do this will vary depending on whether you’re using
Windows, Mac, or the Ubuntu Linux OS.

How to SSH into Raspberry Pi from Windows


There are many ways to SSH into a Raspberry Pi. In the following steps, we’ll show you
how to do this using PuTTy (an open-source terminal emulator) or PowerShell. Note that
these steps will work for both Windows 10 and 11.

PuTTy
To SSH into your Raspberry Pi from PuTTy:

Open PuTTy.

Under Host Name (or IP address), enter your Raspberry Pi’s IP address or
hostname.

Make sure that Port is set to 22. If the Raspberry Pi SSH port is not set to 22, the
connection will fail.

Under Connection type, select SSH.

Select Open, and enter your username and password.

PowerShell
To SSH into your Raspberry Pi using PowerShell, follow these steps:

Open a terminal on the device you would like to SSH into your Raspberry Pi from. In
these steps, we’re using PowerShell.

To open PowerShell, either press Ctrl + Shift + P, or hit the Windows key and
manually search for PowerShell.

Enter the command: ssh [username]@[hostname].local or ssh [username]@[IP


address], replacing [username] and [hostname] or [IP address] with the details of
your Raspberry Pi.

How to SSH into Raspberry Pi from Mac


To SSH into your Raspberry Pi from macOS:

Navigate to Applications > Utilities.

Open the terminal, and enter either ssh [username]@[hostname].local or ssh


[username]@[IP address]. Replace[username] and [hostname] or [IP address] with
the details of your Raspberry Pi.
