How to Enable SSH on a Raspberry Pi 3

This video will show you how to enable SSH on a raspberry pi both graphically and through the terminal.

This was recorded on Raspbian 8 (Jessie) but should be applicable to most distributions (because I show the terminal version as well)

If you are going through the desktop, then just click on the start button in the top left, go down to preferences, and then Raspberry Pi Configuration. In the configuration window, choose the interfaces tab. Here, you can see radio buttons to enable or disable SSH. Just select enable and hit ok.

If you are going through the command line, open up the terminal, and use the command:

sudo raspi-config

This will bring you to a menu, where you need to arrow down to the interfaces option and hit enter. In the interfaces menu, the second option will be SSH. Just arrow to it and hit enter. In the screen that pops up, select yes and hit enter again. Then scroll to the bottom, hit the right arrow twice, and hit enter on finish. SSH is now enabled.

On a security note, if you are enabling SSH, please at the very least change your password. Don't leave it as the default pi/raspberry combination. It is a huge security hole.

Wait this is possible?

A tutorial video that isn’t 10 minutes?

It actually goes right to the point?


WHAT SORT OF WIZARDRY IS

Sorry but the next clips on youtube are all over the screen so that I cannot see what is being shown in the clip. Feels very counter-productive.

sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh
