First thing you want to do after you get a GameShell is to connect it
with your PC. You can do so via WiFi or USB. After that you can SSH into
GameShell or use FTP client to transfer files.

## Establish connection

### Via WiFi

Follow [skywalker101's
tutorial](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/how-to-transfer-files-with-tinycloud-through-ssh/833)

### Via USB

Go to **Settings** and choose **Network gateway switch**

Now if you connect your GS to PC via USB cable, it should be recognized
as a COM Gadget or something like that. You have to install drivers to
use it.

#### On Windows

If you are on windows, please follow the [Petrakis's
tutorial](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/usb-eth-how-to-transfer-files-if-you-have-unstable-wifi/958)
and start on the step \*\*Setting up Windows driver\*\*.

#### On Mac

1\. Download HoRNDIS driver from: <https://joshuawise.com/horndis> 1.
Once the GameShell connects with the USB cable, go to System Preferences
-\> Sharing and enable Internet Sharing to RNDIS.

#### On Linux

Follow this tutorial:

## Transfer files

### FTP client

1\. Install a FTP client, for example,
[FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/). 1. Make sure your GameShell
connected to the same wireless network as the computer you are using.

`  1. You can do this through; Home screen >> Settings >> Wi-Fi.`

1\. Check your SSH / SCP IP address in TinyCloud on your GameShell.

`  1. You can do this through; Home screen >> TinyCloud`
`  1. Remember the IP address that is shown. Also remember the ID (username) and Key (password). Both are: cpi.`

1\. Open FileZilla 1. Enter your IP address, Username (cpi), Password
(cpi) & Port (22) in the above fields.

`  1. The default port for SSH is always 22.`

1\. Click "Quickconnect" button to establish connection 1. When
connected you can see your own computers local folders & files on the
left. And the GameShell folders & on the right. From here you can simply
drag files from left to right in the folder you want stuff to go to.
