How to setup and get Dropbear ssh working?

[kfurge]

I'm running out of ideas. Any chance your user home directory does not exist or is not owned by the user with perms of 755?

i have modified the port (to another port) and then dropbear won't worked.

then i used the command chmod 755 /opt/home/yourusername and it worked.

this was the solution for me.

Hello, i have installed the Firmware successfully and got enhanced-ctorrent/ screen program to work perfectly. Although i have little knowledge what dropbear is and how to use it. I have installed dropbear although when i type in "opt/bin/dropbear" in putty i get the following output, "
#
# opt/bin/Dropbear
opt/bin/Dropbear: not found" Can someone please give a good guide on what dropbear is and how to install, configure it correctly. My objective is that i would like to share my files over vis the internet , and connect to my router via telnet, from the internet so i can download torrents when i am not at home. Thank you for all your help, and i must say a great guide on how to set up enhanced-ctorrent it works great for me !

in my case it is sitting in /usr/sbin/dropbear
if your one is in /opt/bin run it as /opt/bin/dropbear (start with / and dont use capital letters)
