5. Software hints for operation

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.

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