    Quick question, is there a way to edit stuff on your pi without being on your pi?

                  WinSCP/Notepad++ to see and maintain all the files
                  KITTY to use SSH
                  Remote Desktop to see the GUI

                    @heiswinston Hook up a keyboard and mouse to the pi so you can access config, turn on SSH and VNC. Then move keyboard and mouse back to main computer.

                    Then you can use VNC and a SSH client to access your pi completely.

                      … or he can share a directory and mount it on the PC. I also do this with the MMM-MyWastePickup to edit the new entries in the “schedule_custom.csv” with Excel.

                        @mymirror That’s another idea, too - on my mirrors I do samba as well - one for direct editing of files from Windows programs, the other because I’m accessing a common directory for the slideshow it’s running.
