BTW, pCP seems to include OpenSSH's sshd so you might be able to do
things like configure busybox httpd to listen on the loopback address
only (looks like you'd want to edit /usr/local/etc/init.d/httpd), and
then use ssh port forwarding to access it remotely via something like
http://localhost:8010/ on your SSH client box. I expect you should also
be able to configure sshd to only accept public key authentication if
you'd like to avoid passwords. Editing those files is a bit cumbersome

seems to explain how to make persistent changes.

I think it'd be nice if pCP supported something like the old 'Pi
config.txt'
(https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/README.md)
to allow setting some common options (including disabling the httpd or
binding it only to loopback) when preparing the SD card, so the system
could be locked down from the moment it first booted up without jumping
though so many hoops. Might be nice to offer a web UI (on
picoreplayer.org?) that would output a textarea whose contents could be
pasted straight into the config text file to help avoid errors. I'd
include wifi configuration in such a tool.
