ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

[sn00ze]

First off, Thanks Oleg for some great firmware and your efforts, and thanks Muscat for your tutorials.

my trouble, i can't get sftp server to install:

[admin@Scooby root]$ ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Cannot find package openssh-sftp-server.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'
[admin@Scooby root]$


I'm using this version firmware:
1.9.2.7-7f

What am i doing wrong? anyone had success installing sftp?

"openssh-sftp-server" package does not exist at least for Asus. You have to install openssh and vsftpd separatelly"

ipkg install openssh
ipkg install vsftpd

i saw in this post:
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=4145&page=15&highlight=sftp
by Oleg that it was fixed in the -7d release..?

I know what you mean now. Maybe it is built in and you do not have to install it. I have not tested it and cannot find it on ipkg update list either.

i installed vsftpd like you said and that allowed me to connect and edit files on the webserver, which is the main thing, thanks.

I believe vsftpd isnt as secure as a sftp connection, so was hoping for a sftp solution.

It's not necessary to install vsftp!
Openssh contains the the binarys of 'sftp-server',
after installation the sftp-server will be startet from dropbear.

i was unable to get the sFTP client (fugo) to connect.
i was able to connect via ftp once vsftpd installed.
is there a sftp process i could check is running?

[Fazoletti]

Login via telnet or ssh
Enter 'ipkg install openssh'
after installation procedure has finished
sftp-server is installed to '/opt/libexec'.
Now you can connect to the server with 'psftp'
which you can download at

It's necessary dropbear works, because he manages the connection.
Don't forget to delete /opt/etc/init.d/SXXsshd!!

Now sftp-server is available as a separate package. It works fine together with dropbear and doesn't need to have the whole openssh installed.

Use:

ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

And what package repositories are you using? I can't find "openssh-sftp-server" in http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/ (which I thought was the default one).

which I thought was the default one
you're right --- it was.

Now it's:
