Whats your prefered software for ssh to gl router ?
- p.e. for use on Linux
- p.e. for getting access like by terminal and like by file browser
hey dude,
I just use the âsshâ command (so probably openssh) in whatever Linux terminal I have available⌠for file access I have previously used the open SSH sftp server:
opkg install openssh-sftp-server
From my iphone I donât have a SSH terminal app installed so I just use some iOS shortcuts with the imbedded SSH functionality to do things like reboot the router, switch VPN and to print a status update of current uptime and data usage.
Do you type on terminal the follow or do you different ?
ssh root@ip-adress
yeah thatâs exactly it

⌠chrome has a really great SSH client extension (made by google) if you want to have a more âgraphicalâ experience BTW
I remember I have seen years ago, a file browser or so on which can access directly by (ssh ?) to a router. It was looking a little bit like a ftp client, a if I remember true, i think it was ssh related. Do you know how to do like this today, p.e. for get access on this way to gl router ? Does is called sftp ? And is it possible to get access by this to gl router ?
install the SSH chrome extension here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ssh-agent-for-google-chro/eechpbnaifiimgajnomdipfaamobdfha
then install the server on your router with the following command:
opkg install openssh-sftp-server
You can save a profile for your router with the chrome SSH extension, so there is no need to type anything to connect anymore⌠you also have a button for connecting with sftp mount point too (you just need to install the server on the router first - no configuration required, just install it). When I do this, I can access the mountpoint from my file manager like any remote filesystem.

I started by follow a ssh connection to one gl router:
ssh root@ip-adress
And after than I typed the password, after I was asked about on terminal and after than, I copyed the follow by Ctrl-C, Vtrl-V to the ssh terminal:
opkg install openssh-sftp-server
By this I got the follow message:
opkg_install cmd: Cannot install package opkg install openssh-sftp-server.
Does I have to do it on other way ? Or its possible the flash memory of the gl router dont have enough free memory or what ever ?
I think you mean WinSCP. It has a terminal window (not very good) but the option to open a Putty terminal (assuming you have it installed) without logging in again.

You need to do opkg update before doing opkg install.
Yes. That sounds quite familiar. I may have used that years ago with Windows. If I remember correctly, it didnât exist as a Linux version. Under Linux FileZilla. It can be its possible to Midnight Comader MC on Terminal. A its looks for me a little bit, they are not enough space for the files for this on gl-ar750. A It can be its possible to add a little bit external space by exroot.
If I do this on follow way on terminal on AR-750 Creta, FW 3.201_beta2, 3.201-0227.bin

can you try installing the package from the gl-inet plug-in interface or from Luci instead?
Your problems with installing basic packages are not normal experience
Windows folks might want to check out MobaXtermâŚ
Also has Serial Support - really nice tool

That s looks interesting for Windows user like me in the past. I change my title now to asking around for especially Linux software.
from windows I like this Download Area | Bitvise client only not server
or from linux gftp and instead of using ftp use ssh2. of courese you need to install server on openssh-sftp-server on router first for both client solutions
The update of offered apps, dont give a erreor by lucy.
Installing of openssh-sftp-server dont work and report like ânot enought free spaceâ
Its possible to uninstall some thing unused like WireGuard VPN by lucy plugin manager and get free space on âhard diskâ by this or add a USB stick by exroot to expand the free disk space or what ever ?
you canât make extra space from removing stuff from a precompiled firmware if Iâm not mistaken⌠but if you install ext root first, then you can install what ever you like on the SD card.
What do you mean with this and how to do this ?
start fresh, install ext root on SD or USB stick and then install whatever you want afterwards.
I havenât used ext root in maybe five years and I donât know if there are any nuances with the gl-inet firmware though.
I would start here:
⌠but I would deifntiely check on the forum here first to see if there are any complications with your device. I donât know any more than that
