Is there any way to connect to router by means of WinSCP (for file transfer)? That is, without installing an FTP server on it.

I guess you want to login to a SFTP server?
just disable dropbear and install openssh

ipkg install openssh

there won't be anything to configure, keys are automatically generated and you can login with your username and password

openssh is also an sftp server, so it's easy

sftp can be used also with dropbear. Just:

Code:

ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

What exactly do I have to do aftewards. I've installed openssh - ipkg list_installed shows it:

Code:

openssh-sftp-server - 5.5p1-1 - sftp-server only from a FREE version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools.

How do I start it? Will it only accept connections on the internal network (i.e. not also from the internet)?
