Thread: Howto setup WinSCP to connect to my wl500g?

    Howto setup WinSCP to connect to my wl500g?

    I have installed dropbear SSH on my wl500g according to macsat's tutorial.

    Now, when I start a WinSCP connection from my local LAN (user/pass as in the webadmin pages, port 22, no private key file, protocol=SCP only), then I get errormessage:
    Code:
    Error looking for user groups.
    
    Command 'groups'
    failed with return code 127 and error message
    -sh: groups: not found.
    After this error, my session starts and I can work on my files. Sometimes when saving a file to my router, the session gives the same error, but when I confirm with ok, all works (kind of ).

    In WinSCP, I can lookup my Server and Protocol information:

    Server information
    SSH protocol version: SSH-2
    SSH implementation: dropbear_0.47
    Encryption algorythm: aes
    Compression: No
    File transfer protocol: SCP


    Server host key fingerprint
    ssh-rsa 1040 62:6e:1e:a1:...............

    Protocol capabilities/information
    Can change permissions: Yes
    Can change owner/group: Yes/Yes
    Can execute arbitrary command: Yes
    Can create symlink/hardlink: Yes/Yes
    Can lookup user groups: Yes
    Can duplicate remote files: Yes
    Native text (ASCII) mode transfers: No


    Message
    Remote unix system information (uname -a)
    Linux (none) 2.4.20 #15 Sat Jan 7 20:01:34 MSK 2006 mips unknown


    Can anybody tell me how I can prevent the error above?

    I found the answer on the WinSCP forum and documentation..


    The command 'groups' is not available on the wl500g, so I have to tick-off the option: Lookup user groups

    cheers!
