Hi, all the headless guides say to create a file simply name ssh along with a wpa_supplicant.conf file that contains your wireless details.

 

I've done the above and the RBP connects to my wireless and gets an IP, is pingable but SSH connection attempts fail with connection refused.

 

 

 

When googling this issue the answer is to place the ssh file into a 'boot' partition, however the setup of the SD card states to simply format it with the official tool then copy over the files.  There's no other special partition.  Also this contradicts the instructions of placing the ssh file and the wpa_supplicant.conf file into the same place - the latter clearly working as it's connecting to my wifi.

 

What have I done wrong?

Answer:  Noobs doesn't support the ssh file.  You need to use an image writer tool to apply the image file which provides a boot partition.  In that partition you place said files.
