Dropbear and scp

[Kobold]

It seems that dropbear 2013.59 crashes when a client sends a file with scp. It may receive the first file but for the second and further files it says "Connection refused".
RMerlin, can you check it? Or maybe it's just my own bug...

I used scp quite regularly myself, either when copying a firmware I am about to flash with mtd-write, or when moving webui pages I am working on. Never had any problem.

In any case, Dropbear was updated to 2013.60 on Github, so if it was a bug in Dropbear there's a good chance it will be fixed now.

The problem was solved. The bug is in the current dropbear snapshot which is 2013.60+. The 2013.60 (as well as 2013.59) release doesn't suffer from this bug.

Should I stay away from the freshly released 2013.60.1 then? Tho I see little point in updating to that point release, as it mostly fixes install issues that do not apply to Asuswrt.

The current Dropbear release, which is 2013.60 (10/16/2013), is fine. At least it doesn't drop connection when I use scp I suspect that something goes wrong in the latest code submit which was 32 hours ago. I hope Mr. Matt Johnston will stumble across this bug and fix it.
