Is sftp still not available?

[JohnnyBeGood]

Hi all,

I've tried connecting using WinSCP and I get

Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?

I've came across this thread and RMerlin stated that is considering adding it.

Just want to make sure there's no hidden option that needs to be enabled.

Select scp protocol in WinScp
If you want to connect with a ftp client through sftp, install openssh-sftp-server
Optware:

ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

Entware:

opkg install openssh-sftp-server

Thank you! This is what solved the issue.

If you setup your router for Entware, then run the following to setup SFTP...

opkg install openssh-sftp-server

EDIT: Was just beaten by TeHashX above

Thanks!
TeHashX's scp protocol change suggestion worked for me.
