= SSH =

SSH (**S**ecure **SH**ell) is very useful for development on the 825gen2.

From a PC on the same network as the 825 you may use a Command Prompt or !PowerShell window and type: "ssh admin@<ip_address_of_825>" to make an SSH connection to the 825. The IP address of the 825 is shown at the bottom of the "APPLICATION MENU". 

The following example makes an SSH connection to an 825 with an IP address of 10.1.2.230
{{{
PS C:\> ssh admin@10.1.2.230
admin@10.1.2.230's password:
card825gen2:~$
}}}

The "Setup" "Communications" "Network" "Setup Network" screen has a button to set "Hostname". This can be used to the give the 825 a custom hostname. In many network environments it will then be possible to connect by using the hostname instead of the IP address. For example if the hostname is "my825":
{{{
PS C:\> ssh admin@my825
admin@my825's password:
my825:~$
}}}

You will then have access to the terminal to run commands on the 825. For example "free -h" shows information about the 825 RAM memory usage.

{{{
card825gen2:~$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.8Gi       441Mi       3.2Gi        19Mi       202Mi       3.2Gi
Swap:             0B          0B          0B
}}}


== SCP ==

SCP (Secure Copy) may also be used to copy files between an 825 and PC.

The following example copies the SQLite ID storage database from an 825 to Windows C:\Users\Public directory.
{{{
PS C:\> scp admin@10.1.2.230:/mnt/nand/apps/ids/ids.db3 c:\users\public
admin@10.1.2.230's password:
ids.db3                                                                               100%   48KB   6.6MB/s   00:00
}}}
