How can i copy a file to a far away raspberry Pi with ssh?
Connect SMB is fine but only as guest without write permission.

Thanks a lot in advance

You could try rsync (You might need to add the LE system tools addon first)

Code

rsync -avze ssh <local file> <user>@<ip address>:<remote folder>

You install the LE addons on your LE system

It doesn't use smb - only ssh (Only the permissions of the ssh user)

How i do it? I am in Europe and the Pi is in america. Forget that my familiy can do it.

So can i install an plugin with ssh?

You can use "scp" or "rsync" to securely move addon and media files to the remote Pi (use SSH key authentication and disable password auth) but you cannot install the addon without restarting Kodi and then manually enabling the automatically-disabled addon.

It may be easier to use sftp as most machines support it.
