Hello,
i've been using the openssh sftp server for a while, it's the first package i install every time i upgrade my lede version so i considered it quite stable 
but recently i've upgraded my 7800 lede (i use hynman builds, as always) and after having installed the sftp server i can't connect to the router
i get a "Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server" from filezilla and a "server returned status 127" from winscp
so i tried going back from 82something to 7350 (that i had already used!!) and i can't connect anyway
i really dont know how to debug dropbear - if this is up to it! - so i'm asking your help
thanks a lot
Unable to reproduce. Worked out of the box with 18.06.1
Suggest that you turn on Debug and Logging in Filezilla and share the output.

Also possible that either or both the user's shell and home directory don't exist.
well i tried from one of my raspberries to scp-connect to the router, and i got an error linked with server's key.
I suspect it's something linked with the nginx package (with ssl). Can it be?
I'll trying flashing again the firmware and then starting from the sftp server to see if is there any overlapping between packages..
Thanks for confirming that there is nothing new on the package
mmm still problems.

i see a different version of the sftp server (i'm on master, is this relevant?)
This is the log "filezilla" side, i can't see anything wrong:

thanks
Please describe how you set up ECDH key exchange with curve Curve25519 on client and server
The fact that the exchange has proceeded through password authentication strongly suggests that encryption is working. Does dropbear support sftp? I've always replaced dropbear with the OpenSSH server so I can't comment or verify.
Sadly, i have totally no idea 
it used to work just "opkg installing" the package openssg-sftp-server
nothing more
nothing less
What did i miss this time?
isn't the openssh sftp server the one i installed?
