 Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 11:51 pm Post subject: SSHFS on the client, Dropbear on the server? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Having got my crypto keys and everything sorted, so I can log in nicely, I've hit (another) stumbling block: I can't mount the remote filesystem via SSHFS as I originally intended to, because the server doesn't have OpenSSH - only Dropbear. I am root on the server, but it's very resource-constrained so I don't want to install OpenSSH.
My problem is that SSHFS wants to use the SFTP sub-protocol, but Dropbear only supports SCP.
I guess my question breaks down into two alternatives:
> Can Dropbear do SFTP (as opposed to SCP)?
> Can SSHFS connect using SCP (as opposed to SFTP)?
Thankyou in advance for any advice

maybe you can tell it to use scp instead of sftp? |

Surely it would expect sftp-like behaviour, though, which scp doesn't provide?
Also, its errors aren't very useful:
| Code: | splig ~ # sshfs klunk@muttley:/srv/klunk /mnt/temp/ -o IdentityFile=~nl/.ssh/id_klunk -o LogLevel=DEBUG3 -o sftp_server=scp
remote host has disconnected |
Where are all those debug messages I asked for? They haven't shown up...

I have solved it!
OpenSSH only has to be present on the system for its sftp-server to be used - it doesn't have to be running, consuming resources. So I emerged it, and kept Dropbear as the SSH server that's started at boot - and now everything works splendidly!
Huzzah!
