The easiest way to connect your Zynthian is to use the Ethernet RJ45 connector with a CAT-5 cable to connect your unit to your local network (DHCP) or directly to your computer (Ethernet to Ethernet, aka link-local). Your Zynthian box uses the link-local name "zynthian.local" and the filesystem can be accessed with '''sftp''' and '''scp''' (If you are using Windows, use '''Winscp''' - free software needed to communicate using this Internet protocol).

You can also login with '''ssh''' to access the Linux console. see [[Command_Line_User_Guide]] (use '''PuTTY''' for Windows). The username and default password is:

If the link-local address (zynthian.local) is not found, make sure that the link-local feature is enabled in your system. Sometimes it's disabled and link-local names are not recognized (windows). If you can't manage to get link-local names to work, you can use the Zynthian's IP address.  The zynthian's IP address can be found int the UI's "Admin->Network Info" menu, and it's also printed on the zynthian's error screen. See: [[Finding your IP address]]

Currently ''ZynAddSubFX'', ''Aeolus'', ''Pianoteq'' and ''Pure Data'' have support for remotely displaying their native GUIs, which is launched automatically when layer is created. Other GUI

Many LV2 plugins (NoizeMaker, OBX-d, Surge, DragonFly Reverbs, ...) and some of the standalone engines (ZynAddSubFX, Aeolus, Pianoteq and PureData) have support for remotely displaying their native GUIs. If VNC is enabled, the engine's GUI will be launched automatically when added to a chain.
