I have a remote machine running Ubuntu that has an on-board USB serial converter. I can easily access remote's terminal by connecting via USB to Windows and running PuTTY. However, is it possible to get to remote's terminal this way using the RPi 4 terminal? Essentially, I'd like to replace the Windows machine and PuTTY with the RPi 4.
When I connect remote's console port to RPi 4, it is immediately recognized and attached to /dev/ttyUSB0
$ dmesg
$ ...
$ usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
$ usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6015, bcdDevice=10.00
$ usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
$ usb 1-1.1: Product: FT231X USB UART
$ usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: FTDI
$ usb 1-1.1: SerialNumber: D200BOAV
$ ftdi_sio 1-1.1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
$ usb 1-1.1: Detected FT-X
$ usb 1-1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
From the RPi 4 terminal, how can I access remote's terminal?
