Log in

Open a terminal and type:
```
ssh admin@controller_ip_address
```
The first time, ssh asks whether you trust the controller’s key. Type yes and press Enter.
Type the password of the admin account. The terminal shows nothing while you type.
The prompt changes to the controller’s, for example mcx-intel:~$. Type exit to log out.

Transfer files

The Ubuntu file manager connects over SFTP itself; you need no extra program.

In the file manager, click Other Locations.
Under Connect to Server, type sftp://admin@controller_ip_addressThe IP address of your controller. In most cases 192.168.2.100..
Click Connect.
Type the password of the admin account and click Unlock. The controller’s files open like a folder on your PC.

Log in

Windows 10 and later have ssh built in. On older Windows, use a separate SSH program such as PuTTY.

Press the Windows key, type cmd and press Enter.
Type:
```
ssh admin@controller_ip_address
```
The first time, ssh asks whether you trust the controller’s key. Type yes and press Enter.
Type the password of the admin account. The window shows nothing while you type.
The prompt changes to the controller’s. Type exit to log out.

Transfer files

Use an SFTP program, for example FileZilla Client. The numbers in the screenshot match the steps.

Download and install FileZilla Client.
Open it.
In Host:, type sftp://controller_ip_addressThe IP address of your controller. In most cases 192.168.2.100..
In Username:, type admin.
In Password:, type the password of the admin account.
In Port:, type 22.
Click Quickconnect. The first time, FileZilla asks whether you trust the controller’s key: click OK.

The right-hand side now shows the files on the controller. Drag files between the two sides to copy them.
