iPad access

Tue Dec 30, 2014 11:19 am

Can I ask for some help and guidance place, I'm new to this.


I have been watching this video on YouTube as I like the idea of connecting and controlling my Pi from my iPad:
http://youtu.be/RvRH54Ug8sw

It's an instruction video on how to connect one to the other by 'JerseyITGuy', he uses an app called 'iSSH' which is no longer available, I'm using 'Serverauditor' and can seem to get the GUI up and running as he could, I can get a command prompt and no further.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you for the suggestion, the VNC app, when I try to connect, offers this error:
'the port on which the computer is listening for a connection could not be contacted'.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Your error is probably not realising that you need a VNC server installed and running on the RPi.
