# Access content from the device

The following are the ways to access the content from the device.

## Enable SSH

Enable a SSH in permissive mode to securely access your
host device. For instructions, see [Sign in using SSH](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70030-254/how_to.html#use-ssh).
