yea i thought that sucked too that it didn't come with scp. If i had to guess it would be because it uses more cpu, but since i went from firmware 2.0 to k.furges i went from 3.5 load to a .035 load so i think i have some to spare.

try this.
[root@xcess /]$ ipkg install scponly

p.s. Your milage may very.. No guarantees this will not break something else, as i read more posts in this forum i see that people are running some crazy stuff. scponly is "supposed" to be an scp shell. but it installs the scp command properly and i can now scp from my box..

[root@xcess /]$ scp /opt/etc/ipkg.conf 192.168.1.8:/tmp
Could not create directory '/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.8 (192.168.1.8)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is **.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/.ssh/known_hosts).
Password:
ipkg.conf 100% 249 0.2KB/s 00:00

you'll notice that since it can't write to / that you can never add anything to known_hosts.

So if anybody has a reason NOT to install this package please speak up.
