If you don’t have a working setup yet, and you’re somewhat clueless on how to set things up, then I suggest that you follow the guide on how to setup a headless server with Ubuntu plus Plex Media Server. If you want to move on with this guide, you should already have a working Linux server, installed with Plex Media Server software and another PC to run our choice of terminal emulator that will serve as our SSH client. So for this guide, both machines (Server and Client) resides within our Local Area Network (LAN) only. The server that we are accessing is our own Linux server within our Local Area Network.

Keep in mind that, though I mentioned Remote it doesn’t mean that the server is from somewhere else outside our LAN. So the only way to administer or control it is through another machine that has a terminal emulator program, installed.įor this guide, we’re going to use PuTTY.exe (for Windows) or Linux Terminal App (for Linux) to make a remote connection to the headless media server and enter the necessary commands to administer our remote headless server.

Headless means no keyboard, mouse and monitor attached to it. This is a step-by-step guide on how to add files to a Linux media server, that is headless.
