What do you mean? Through a web browser or from the internet (i.e. remote location)? Are you looking for an easy way to transfer a file to the router as opposed to editing a file through ssh?

I know I can install enterware and install opens-sftp-server to make it work. But I'm wondering if I can upload through webUI directly.

Hello, I've had a powershell script combined with a linux script to scp the Let's Encrypt cert from the router to my PC and use it for securing an RDP connection in. It's been working for years but after an update a while ago (maybe 6-8 months not positive?) it stopped working. After digging...
