+If you get file Permission denied, go into the node and temporarly run:

+Then copy with the scp command and reset the permissions back to:
+```bash
+sudo chmod 600 /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml
+```
+
+You'll then want to modify the config to point to master IP by running:
+```bash
+sudo nano ~/.kube/config
+```
+Then change `server: https://127.0.0.1:6443` to match your master IP: `server: https://192.168.1.222:6443`
