Novice users are not meant for secure copy **scp** , nor secure shell **ssh** and command line operations. They are probably able to navigate through **RetroArch** it’s configuration and to upload some files with **TinyCloud**

However the default location for cores on GameShell is **/home/cpi/.config/retroarch/cores** and when in **RetroArch** I may download new ones only from the configure **URL**.

I would like to have a way to be able to load a core of my own. Of course I could reconfigure **RetroArch** to look in **games** and upload it there with **TinyCloud**.

But, does anybody know of another way ?

TinyCloud only gives you the IP. There are programs like WinSCP that are pretty much straight forward because of their GUI and folder browser.

Ok, thank you @Petrakis, I think WinSCP should be ok for casual and novice users.
