@TheStrayMongrel hi, i've been using this for a good 6 months, better tham native terminal, and you can create shortcuts too

i use SSH on my mac fine. i should say that it was very unstable on 3.6 as the first release of raspian for the pi3 had really unstable wifi and i would get similar issues to you. if you did an apt-get update and apt-get upgradeit sorted the problem, but it should be fixed in 3.7 by default.

Ahh, Didn't see that, yeah, terminal would probably be the best option to shut down the Retropie remotely. I'd just keep a copy of the command handy and paste it in terminal when I need it. ;)

Thanks all for the tips, definitely gives me some stuff to try.

Cheers

You could also just make a terminal command short cut to shut down your pie.

Sorry @dankcushions what do i need to run in the command line to the the update/upgrade? Those commands just give me "command not found", not hugely efficient at all this.

Thanks

@TheStrayMongrel sorry, my mistake! should be:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Excellent that's got it, thanks. Fingers crossed that helps out the stability... i do like working in the terminal.

Did an update on Retropie last night and wouldnt you know it ssh and ftp have stopped working. The IP address has changed but I've use the new one to try to long in through my bash terminal and also Filezilla but no dice. Any ideas?

Thanks
