Using either ethernet or wifi connection, Zynthian offers additional ways to access the system from your computer. The ''Zynthian Web Configuration Tool'' is a web interface to view and configure settings e.g. midi devices, preset libraries etc. Graphical user interfaces for synth engines and the pedalboard style LV2 plugin patch ''MOD-UI'' are also accessible from your web browser.

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" or "zynthian.lan", depending of your system, 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).

==== Connecting via SSH and Accessing the File System ====
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:

Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. Zynthian provides a VNC viewer for a desktop that allows access to these native GUI. By default VNC is disabled and it is recommended to disable for performance (as it has a small overhead which is best saved for your audio). To enable VNC and access the desktop and engines' native GUI:
