Connecting
In order to connect to a Linux Edge device, specific software must be installed.
Terminal Software
Most steps in the installation will be run via the command terminal and can be accessed on a remote terminal using free software like Putty (https://www.putty.org/). In the default configuration, Linux is accessed via an SSH connection to port 22. The default username and password vary by manufacturer.
File Transfer Software
While SCP (Secure Copy) can be used from the command line, many people prefer to use a simple GUI to transfer files in a manner more similar to using Windows Explorer. WinSCP (https://winscp.net/eng/download.php) is a piece of free software that allows an SCP connection via that same port 22, allowing you to copy our installer to your Linux system.
