The subject of your e-mail suggests you've tried using Dropbear. However, as you've probably noticed, Dropbear doesn't implement the SFTP protocol, so it is not possible to use Dropbear as a SFTP server. For now, the only option in Buildroot to get a SFTP server is to use OpenSSH. Just enable the package, disable Dropbear, and do a full rebuild of your Buildroot configuration. The Buildroot OpenSSH package automatically installs an init script that will start OpenSSH at boot time. Nothing special should be necessary. If you're interested, notice that we are currently developing a Eclipse plugin for Buildroot, which will help to build, remote execute and remote debug applications in the context of Buildroot. The documentation has not yet been fully written, but if you're interested, please let me know so that we can give you the initial starting points. We are very interested in getting some user feedback about those developments.
