Is it possible to use a remote desktop connection to a raspberry Pi from another Raspberry Pi?
If so, how?
Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users and developers of hardware and software for Raspberry Pi. It only takes a minute to sign up.

command in your terminal emulator if ssh server is enabled on the other PI; you can enable it on a headless PI by putting a file with no extension in the boot partition on the SD card.
If you require a graphical desktop use sudo raspi-config
in the remote ssh connection and enable vnc server
. Than on the original PI open VNC viewer (it comes pre-installed) and connect similarly to how you would using ssh
. VNC will not work on raspbian lite due to a lack of a graphical desktop.
You'll need to install a VNC server. TightVNC is a good choice. AdaFruit has a great tutorial:
You can then use the installed VNC client to connect.
You can always install TeamViewer as a quick and dirty solution as well
ssh -Y user@rpi2
fromrpi1
could be enough.
