Erich,
I do not want to start a war between sshd + sftp versus dropbear :-)) Each of them has their own merits and are fully useable.
The purpose of my initial answer was more to describe one (partial) approach
- tools + process steps - one can use to maintain his Bering box
from a Windows environment.
Basic tools required are essentially a mean to get secured interactive sessions
between Windows and Bering as well as a mean to get secured file transfers.
Having the choice between sshd+sftp or dropbear doesn't hurt.
In fact, to be honest, up to today (this morning), I was exclusively using SFTP
because having a FTP session opened to allow multiple transfers made me more
confortable. I was too lazy to look for a practical and easy-to-use
SCP implementation under Windows (opening a DOS window to issue
successive scp commands didn't make me confortable). This is the reason
I initially spoke about sshd+sftp.
This morning, after a feedback from KP, I decided to look further.
I found WinSCP3, tried it, switch my Bering box from sshd+sftp to dropbear
in a matter of minutes. And that worked well !
So, the conclusion of this story, can be:
- select appropriate secured SSH tools for interactive session and file transfer
- then use your Bering box as its own maintenance tool from a Windows client
This is a lightweight solution in regards to installing Linux on a machine...
Regards, Christian
