SSH over USB

Hello,

I have a problem with my Raspberry Pi 3A+,

since this has no LAN to access it via ssh, I would like to do it via usb. Unfortunately I have not been able to do it so far.
Does anyone know how to do this?

@buddhafragt if you re lucky installing a USB Ethernet adapter will give you a network connection that can then be used to connect to the device via SSH or the remote console. There is no other way of running SSH directly over USB.

but the USB Ethernet adapter will not work out of the box? I have to install a driver, right?

Get a USB ethernet adapter and try it. I plugged a USB3 <> Ethernet dongle into VenusOS running an an RPI4 and it was detected.

and

root@raspberrypi4:~# ifconfig eth1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

So depending on the make and model it it highly likely to work
