How to switch from Dropbear to OpenSSH on DietPi

Switch from Dropbear to OpenSSH on DietPi.

Dropbear SSH is a great solution for embedded devices, but sometimes I want to use a plain old OpenSSH server.

To use the full-blown OpenSSH server you need to install it using the software center.

Execute dietpi-software utility.

Open SSH server menu.

Select desired SSH server.

Accept changes.

Execute install step.

Remember to update service settings after the installation process is complete.

Additional notes

scp

scp needs some attention from your side, but does not require full-blown OpenSSH server.

$ scp data.tar.gz milosz@10.0.0.8:~/backup

bash: scp: command not found
lost connection

To use OpenSSH secure file copy install openssh-client on server.

server$ sudo apt install openssh-client

sftp

sftp needs some attention from your side, but does not require full-blown OpenSSH server.

$ sftp milosz@10.0.0.8

bash: /usr/lib/sftp-server: No such file or directory
Connection closed.

To add OpenSSH secure file transfer program install openssh-sftp-server on server.

server$ sudo apt install openssh-sftp-server
