Ssh 'ssh' command tells your local computer to open a connection to the user ('root') at the remote IP you entered. To connect to your Yún via SSH, open your terminal application, type the following, substituting the IP address for that of your Yún :

Check the Ports list, the Yún should be listed with its address. To find the Yun's IP address, make sure you're on the same wireless network, and open the Arduino software. To connect via SSH, you need the IP address of the Yún, the administrator password, and you'll need to have the Arduino and the computer you're using on the same network. You'll use SSH to connect between your computer and the Yún. SSH is shorthand for Secure Shell, a terminal protocol for securely connecting between two computers. This document has additional information about using the CLI and OpenWRT.

A list of common Linux commands and flags can be found on the Debian help site. Some typical commands are mkdir for creating directories, cd to change directories, chmod to change a file's permissions, and cp to copy files. If you wanted to list the files in a directory and also display anything in their sub directory, you would follow the command with '-R'. The output will appear below the command in the window.Ĭommands can also accept various commands, also called flags. To list the items in a directory, you would type :Īnd press return. On Ubuntu, it can be accessed via 'Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal' Linux : Different versions of Linux place the terminal in various locations. Windows: PuTTY is a third-party application that acts as a terminal emulator that supports SSH (see below for details). OSX : The 'Terminal' program can be found in the 'Applications > Utilities' folder. These can open a connection between the Yún and your computer, allowing you to send and receive information, as well as run applications from the Yun's Linux distribution. Operating systems like OSX and Linux ship with programs called terminal emulators. For additional information on the basics of the Command Line, see the Debian documentation. The CLI accepts commands that run applications, configure the operating system, display diagnostic information, and just about anything else you would want to do with a computer. Instead of using the computer through a graphical interface (sometimes referred to as a GUI), you can send commands through a command line interpreter (CLI). The Arduino Yún has a Linux computer on-board. Using the command line for communication with SSH and cURL
