Hi Matt, Thanks for your quick answer. If I understand correctly, the dbclient establishes the underlying SSH connection with the SFTP server, but does not implement a whole SFTP client. So I have to use a separate sftp client (such as sftp from OpenSSH), which can rely on Dropbear to establish the SSH connection with the server.
OK, this is clearer now, thanks. I think that a mention of this on your website or in the Readme file could be useful.
