How to transfer files from the PC to the Raspberry PLC
Sometimes it is necessary to transfer files from our computer to the Raspberry PLC. The best
way to do it is using the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), a protocol that allows the secure transfer
of files between a local host and a remote host based on the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH).
Linux systems carry built-in SCP, allowing to copy files using the scp command. However,
Windows systems need to use an external app for being able to use this protocol. We
recommend working with
WinSCP .
Some directories of the Raspberry Pi PLC have administrator permits, which will not allow to
transfer file directly to them. As a result, the best option is to copy the files to the /home/pi
directory and then move them to the folder that you wish.
Windows
Once downloaded the WinSCP program, we will execute it and a window will be opened for
logging in. We will have to choose the protocol which we are using, the port and the IP address
of the PLC where we want to connect with his user and password.
On this example, we will be using the default options for the protocol (SFTP) and the port (22).
The Raspberry Pi PLC IP by default is the
10.10.10.20 , the user is pi and the password
raspberry . After setting all the requirements, press the connect button and the connection will
start.
