Thank you all for your helpful comments.

SeRi@IDiE,

I just tried a quick test. Created a small file and used scp to copy it to localhost. Then did the reverse (created small file and used scp to copy from localhost). Both times scp succeeded. I know it did the scp thing because during the first trial ("outbound" copy) I got the usual scp untrusted message.

I did note that scp reported it didn't understand several switches. I don't know where those arguments came from, since I supplied no arguments (other than the source and target). I suppose they "built-in" somewhere along the way. In any case, the files successfully copied (both incoming and outgoing).

Regards,

DG

Yep, I use dropbear's scp as the only way to transfer files to the N800 and it works flawless.

I originally installed dropbear because it was in the alternative "how do I become root" instructions, but often use it for shell access or with WinScp.

Aside from the X forwarding, I think that it also lacks the ability to act as a SOCKS proxy.

The reame mentions that public keys must be converted to dropbear format before use.
