SSH into pi via wifi, use internet on pi via internet

Question

Right now I'm sshed to my rpi via wifi, however I would like my pi to use the direct ethernet connection to connect to the internet. I was wondering how I would go about doing this...

• user236012: Just unplug the WiFi dongle and connect an ethernet cable instead.
• Zypps987: i should mention this is a pi3.
• user236012: Then disable wifi and connect ethernet cable. Adapt /etc/network/interfaces to your needs.
• Zypps987: Is it possible to stay connected via wifi + ssh and have the pi3 use the internet with ethernet?
• user236012: That's a routing problem. If the default traffic from RPi should go over ethernet, you should set that as default gateway. see superuser.com/questions/331720/… or askubuntu.com/questions/263572/…. But generally not related to raspberry pi.

Answer 1

Have you considered using the %interface scheme in SSH ?

You can do something like ssh -l pi 192.168.50.1%eth0 I think it should work.

You are essentially telling which interface should you ssh into via the %eth0 I tend to use it on my PC.

I have wlan0 configured in ad-hoc mode and everytime I need to SSH into pis over the same interface I use:

ssh -l pi IPv6LLaddress%wlan0

It should work for IPv4 too.
