        There's a program that's free for Mac, I actually use it for web development to program in PHP and do my HTML etc.., called Netbeans. It's a great program. That is also another solution if you want something more robust. I takes a little bit to get the hang of, but it's awesome once you do.

            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. ;)

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

                    @dankcushions said in ssh into pi:

                    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-update and apt-upgradeit sorted the problem, but it should be fixed in 3.7 by default.

                    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

                      apt-get upgrade

                          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
