as will i. i checked my notes from a couple years back and found
out that, on a different embedded system, i built dropbear from
scratch with the "dropbearmulti" option (which includes a symlink to
"scp"), which is why it worked. but that tells me that, out of the
box, the 2.4.26-ts9 install simply won't support incoming scp
requests, which i think is a fairly major omission in functionality.
if i understand that correctly, i don't understand why anyone would
build a stock install that includes dropbear, but doesn't support
incoming scp requests. would anyone else verify that this is, in
fact, the situation? it just seems unnecessarily restrictive.
