OpenWrt 22.03 vsftpd not working

[hnyman]

tried using scp using the command line but I got

user@machine ~ ❯ scp root@192.168.50.1:/etc/config/network .
ash: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found
scp: Connection closed

So maybe sftp-server is required before scp will work?

That is due to a too new scp in your PC. Newest scp versions use sftp as the protocol under the hood. I have run into that with Ubuntu 22.10.

You need

• scp -O option (to enable the "Old" transfer method), or
• install openssh-sftp-server in the router to enable sftp
