SSH via Android to Asus Router WITH SCP FILE BROWSER??!

[Kamikaze01]

Hello Friends...

As the title said: I want to browse through my Asus Router like a file browser from my rooted Android.
But as long as I know the Router only supports SSH with SCP.

And all Apps only support SFTP or SSH Command line

Is there a way to browse through the router like a normal file browser with a GUI without command line.

From PC this is easy (WinSCP,... )
But from my Android Phone??!

Thank u in advanced!


PS: I am on latest Merlin FW with a RT AC68U and my Phone is rooted with Android 9

Install Entware and then the SFTP server:

opkg install openssh-sftp-server

Thank u very much for the answer...

I tried to install entware this way.
Just connect via SSH and enter the command "entware-setup.sh"

But I got error (changed the Username due privacy):

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U 384.11-2 Sat May 18 03:32:01 UTC 2019
xxxUSERxxx@RT-AC68U_WHITE-EE00:/tmp/home/root# entware-setup.
sh

 Info:  like /tmp/mnt/sda1/jffs_scripts_backup.tgz

 Info:  Looking for available partitions...
 *** Error:  No ext2|ext3|ext4 partitions available. Exiting...

And if I want to install openssh I got following:

xxxUSERxxx@RT-AC68U_WHITE-EE00:/tmp/home/root# pkg install op
enssh
-sh: pkg: not found
xxxUSERxxx@RT-AC68U_WHITE-EE00:/tmp/home/root# opkg install o
penssh
-sh: opkg: not found

What I am doing wrong?



Thanks for ur help anyway
I like my Asus Merlin !!

You need to have a USB drive plugged into your router for Entware to be installed on. The USB drive also needs to have at least one partition that is formatted as ext2, ext3 or ext4.

Do you have a small USB drive that you could leave permanently plugged into the router?

Thank u @ColinTaylor

For sure I have enough small (16 or 32GB) USB Sticks for this

But I am on holiday right now and have no possibility to plug the USB on my Router *LoL*

I will give it a try next to my holiday

Thank u for ur answer and the help !!

The easiest way to format the USB drive and install Entware is by using a utility called amtm. You can read about it here. To download, install and run it log into the router with SSH and enter the following command:

/usr/sbin/curl -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoderman/amtm/master/amtm && sh amtm

From the amtm menu you can choose fd to format the disk or i to install Entware. Installing Entware through amtm is better than using the command you tried before.
