Having trouble connecting to omega over ssh [putty]
-
Hey,
I'm having trouble connecting to my omega over ssh. I'm following the instructions for windows in https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Connecting-to-Omega-via-SSH. I can connect to the omega fine via putty over serial.
Could it be to do with my router/wifi settings?

@Vega_Radeau A quick reply that may or may not help - if it doesn't help, the Omega people may be able to give better advice.
I am assuming that you have a connection to your Omega on your network.
Can you access omega-2793.local from your browser?
I (and I believe some others) have had problems when trying to connect using the omega-XXXX.local name.
As I was advised as a work around, I use instead access to the IP address 192.168.3.1 - this works fine for me.

Aha! Yes I can access it via the IP, but my omega's IP doesn't default to 192.168.3.1, I used the tutorial in this post:
https://community.onion.io/topic/154/showing-wlan-ip-on-ssh-login-boot
to show my IP every time I connect to the omega via ssh/serial. Thanks for your help Kit, good to see another Kiwi on here!

Furthermore, if anyone is interested in how to copy files from Windows to the Omega using putty's ssh. Have a look at:
