Transferring Files to and from the Raspberry Pi
You can use secure copy (SCP) to transfer files from your
computer to the Pi, or to copy files from the Pi to another
computer. Raspbian already supports this, and so you only need
to install a client on your main computer.
On Windows, WinSCP is very popular application for transferring
files. You can download it for free at http://winscp.net
On Mac OS X, you can use an application called Cyberduck. This
is a free download from http://cyberduck.io/ or you can
download it from the Mac App Store.
The details you need to make a connection to the Pi are largely
the same regardless of which SCP client you use:
Server/Hostname: the IP address of your Pi
Username: pi
Password: this is raspberry if you have not yet changed it.
Protocol: SCP
To download files from the Pi, drag the icons from the SCP
client’s window to a Windows Explorer or Finder window. To
upload files to the Pi, drag files from a Windows Explorer or
Finder window and drop them onto the SCP client’s window.

Secure shell (SSH) is a way of talking to your Pi over an encrypted
transmission. It is typically used when you want to access the
Raspberry Pi’s command line from another computer. As long as
your Pi has a network connection, you can connect to it remotely
and type commands.
On Windows, you will need an application that understands the
SSH protocol. There are many of these available, but PuTTY is
