====== 5. Software hints for operation ======

===== Windows =====

For controlling the scanner from a Windows-PC, software for SSH and SCP is required. A Linux PC usually comes with such software. Corresponding software may have to be installed for Windows:

  * SSH for remote console: //PuTTY// http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
  * SCP for file transfer: //WinSCP// https://winscp.net/
  * alternative to //PuTTY// and //WinSCP//, //MobaXterm// can be used for both purposes: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
  * wired/cable access with a Notebook on the road: http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/
  * unpacking of compressed scan results: //7-zip// http://www.7-zip.de/
  * viewing scan results in .csv file format. for easy import, //LibreOffice/Calc// is recommended, which displays a simple import dialog for separators and character encoding UTF-8: https://de.libreoffice.org/
  * Editor, e.g. for configuration files: //Notepad++//: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ 

For //PuTTY// and //WinSCP//, it is recommended to use these within the software package //PortableApps// https://portableapps.com/. Various other software is also available within //PortableApps//, e.g. //TeamViewer//. //PortableApps// also checks regularly for updates.

When installing //PortableApps//, paths like ''C:\Programs'' or ''Programs (x86)'' are not recommended, cause normal users cannot write in these paths. In order to be able to use files directly from Explorer by double-clicking or //Open with//, //7zip//, //Notepad++// and //LibreOffice// should be installed directly - without //PortableApps//.


===== Android =====

  * //JuiceSSH// is recommended for SSH
  * //Total Commander// is recommended for editing and renaming files
  * //VNC Viewer// is recommended for remote display (on the smartphone)
