[How to] Get SSH SCP working on your camera

Nigel edited this page Aug 12, 2021 · 1 revision
  1. Login to your camera using Telnet

  2. Execute the following commands on your camera:

mkdir /etc/dropbear
ln -s /mnt/mmc01/dropbearmulti /bin/scp
/mnt/mmc01/dropbearmulti dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
/mnt/mmc01/dropbearmulti dropbear
  1. Connect to your camera using IP + Port 22 and have fun.

If you want SSH to work at reboot/startup of the camera, you should add the above commands [apart from line 3 to save cpu/time/memory] to custom.sh

NOTE

Running SSH on certain camera's might result in unexpected behavior due to memory limitations.

The above is tested on an 8S.
