Upload files to your Rover
This may be too easy, but Windows users will always ask...
On Windows
Download and install WinSCP
Connect to the Rover WiFi.
Just after you open the software it will ask you for the Rover login details, as always:
IP: 10.0.0.1 | Login: pi | Password: raspberry
and click 'login'.
Now in the right window you'll see all the files located in your Rover.
You can upload files by dragging them from your local computer and dropping them inside Turtle Rover's file system
On Linux
You can use scp
tool for this. Just type:
If you want to copy a whole directory you can add -r
option
if [remote_path] is a relative path it will be resolved in /home/pi namespace (e.g. pi@10.0.0.1:turtle will be resolved to /home/pi/turtle).
To show more options type man scp
Alternatively you can use sshfs
to mount remote file system into your local directory
Now you can just put files inside [local_path] and it will be automatically synchronized with a remote directory.
When you're done just unmount the directory by typing
File Permissions
By default when logging as pi
user you have write permission only on files inside /home/pi
directory. This should be sufficient in most cases but if you really need to upload files outside of home directory you have a couple of options.
Recommended: take ownership of the directory
First, login to the Rover's console via ssh
pageConnect to the console (SSH)Create a directory if it doesn't exist
Now, assign the ownership of that directory
This will change ownership of [upload_directory] and all files inside it to pi
user
Not recommended: upload files by logging into root account
Root logging in TurtleOS is disabled by default. If you want to turn this on you can follow these instructions.
You can then get access to all files by logging to root
instead of pi
Modifying root file system can be a destructive operation so if you don't fully understand what you're doing make sure to backup your files first
