Networking and servers • Re: Connecting two raspis with raspi connect?

Is it possible to connect two raspis (not on the same network) using raspi connect. My project is to use a raspi to collect information. I have no control over when that pi is on or off. I would like to send data to another raspi working as a web server to display the data. I have both raspis programmed and communicating with SCP but that only works if they are on the same network. Is there anything I can use to connect them?

Yes. The target device must be an appropriately configured RasPiOS system. The browser-based client service can be running on any device able to run a competent web browser, so that would include another RPI board running RasPiOS.

The role of RPi Connect is to provide screen-based or CLI remote access. It does not seem to provide simple standalone data or file transfer at the current implementation. Ref: Raspberry Pi Connect - https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... troduction

Why do you perceive there to be a restriction? scp should work anywhere there is a routable IP connection. (Maybe you don't have that routable connection capability?)

Is there anything I can use to connect them?

Could you consider an implementation using MQTT and a public MQTT Broker?
