Thread: ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

  1. #1

    ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

    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=...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?

    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:
    PHP Code:
    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).

    you're right --- it was.

    Now it's:
