I recently got RPi 4 kit and I want to connect to its terminal interface using Ethernet cable from my laptop. I dont have any SD card reader on my laptop so I cannot change data on microSD. That microSD card has installed NOOBS by default. How can I connect to RPi terminal without buying any additional hardware and by using only my laptop and Ethernet cable? Thanks.

I'm able to ping "raspberrypi.local" from cmd.

PS: My WiFi is on "public" network so I dont have access to router or anything if that helps. Thanks.

    "That microSD card has installed NOOBS" NOOBS is OBSOLETE and hasn't been updated in YEARS. I am surprised it boots on a Pi4, but would be way out of date. You should object to whoever conned you into buying it. Do yourself a favour and spend $5 on a SD Card reader.

    If you REALLY want to persist with it you NEED a keyboard & monitor.

  • I would recommend a USB mouse as well

  • Does this answer your question? Enable SSH in NOOBS before install

You can't! SSH can be enabled if you add a file ssh to the boot folder on the SD card before first boot.
