The list of things i do after i installed my RPi, to be able to benefit from SSH, Remote Desktop, Code Remotely via FTP using VSCode.
1. Assign static ip to the RPi
Edit dhcpcd.conf:
vim /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Set a static ip of 192.168.100.10 in my case:
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.100.10/24
static routers=192.168.100.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.100.1
2. Enable SSH and VNC on RPi
Preferences -> Raspberry Pi configuration -> Interfaces
3. Connect via Remote Desktop
On RPi install xrdp
sudo apt-get install xrdp
On PC open Remote Desktop Connection and connect via the first option (Xorg)
4. Install ftp server to be able to code remotely with VSCode
On RPi:
sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd
sudo service pure-ftpd restart
On PC:
Install ftp-simple VSCode extension
After installed, in VSCode press F1 and type
>ftp-simple connection
Copy/paste the following configuration and edit the ip/user/password to the ones you use
[{
"name": "192.168.100.10",
"host": "192.168.100.10",
"port": 21,
"type": "ftp2",
"username": "pi",
"password": "***",
"path": "/",
"autosave": true,
"confirm": false,
"ignore": [
"/**/node_modules",
"/**/*.class"
]
}]
Finally, to access your folder remotely, in VSCode press F1 and select step by step to navigate to your folder (your folders may be different) or follow the gif above
>ftp-simple : Remote directory open to workspace, then
192.168.100.10 then
Home then
Pi then
<your-folder> then
. to select the current folder
