Which files need configuring so I can ssh directly from my laptop(linux os) into a raspberry pi(rasbian os) using a ethernet cable.
Thanks

What I mean is not using a router or switch, so laptop > cable > raspberrypi.
Thanks

Edit /boot/cmdline.txt add ip=169.254.3.14 to the end of the single line in that file (don't break the line). Boot your RPi with that and with it wired to your laptop (simple straight cable, no X-over needed). Use putty to connect to 169.254.3.14.
