Install OpenSSL and SFTP on Asuswrt

Dropbear is a lightweight OpenSSH implementation bundled with Asuswrt-Merlin, but it omits SFTP support. Installing openssh-sftp-server via Entware adds it without replacing Dropbear.

Environment

  • ASUSWRT-MERLIN 386.12
  • Entware armv7sf-k2.6

Method

opkg update
opkg install openssh-sftp-server

Proceed with updating and installing the package manager.

After installation, you can access it immediately without any additional configuration.
