How to copy files to router

[pedeb04]

I use ubuntu on my desktop and server, witrh asuswrt-merlin on RT-AX86_U_Pro and can ssh into router from desktop and server.
Before I change from a usb flashdrive on the router to a usb ssd, I tried coping backupmon.cfg from the network share on the server to the router without success.
I tried using scp and rsync but both commands gave errors.
I tried the file manager through other locations using smb, and I did manage to copy backupmon.cfg from the server share folder to router MerlinAu.d directory, however when I ssh into router the file is not there?

Can someone help me to copy files to router please.

Try scp -O myfile admin@192.168.50.1:/tmp

Newer OpenSSH scp uses sftp instead of the scp protocol. The O (Oh, not zero) option reverts to the scp method.
