Add Secure File Transfer Program (SFTP) support using a simple wrapper. SFTP is a common protocol used to transfer files securely between enterprises, but it is not currently supported in Buildroot because all of the packages are usually available via HTTP, git or some other download method. SFTP is similar to FTP but it preforms all operations over an encrypted SSH transport using a specific protocol. This is unlike ftps, which is traditional FTP over an SSL/TLS connection.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
