SSHFS on Asus DSL-AC68U router
I have an Asus DSL-AC68U router. I can easily ssh to it:
ssh router
After having configured the proper options in .ssh/config:
Host router
Hostname ddnshostname
User myuser
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
In short, I already can access the router via SSH and FTP but I'd like the security and ease of use of SSHFS (or similar!).
However, I seem not to be able to mount stuff with SSHFS:
$ sshfs -o sshfs_debug router:/tmp/home/root/ testmount/ -d [1]
SSHFS version 2.6
FUSE library version: 2.9.5
nullpath_ok: 0
nopath: 0
utime_omit_ok: 0
executing <ssh> <-x> <-a> <-oClearAllForwardings=yes> <-2> <casatrieste> <-s> <sftp>
sh: /opt/libexec/sftp-server: not found
remote host has disconnected
I found out this is because sftp-server in my router seems to be displaced or missing. However, I cannot find neither sftp_server nor ssh_config anywhere in the router using find / | grep ssh_config.
It seems like I'm missing the sftp-server package completely. Is there any other way to allow me to use SSHFS? I can already access the router via ftp, but I'd like to mount the file system remotely.
I should probably install openssh-sftp-server. However this means I should install optware and I'd prefer to avoid that.
How can I mount SSHFS folders from this router remotely?

SSHFS is using SFTP. If the server does not support SFTP, it won't work.
You need to install the sftp-server on router and configure it if you want to use it SFTP/SSHFS. Period. What is the question?

That's what I gathered. The question is if what I understood is correct (it seems so) and if there is any way around the issue other than installingoptwarewhich I fear may void my warranty. Or, alternatively, if there is any other equivalent solution other than SSHFS.

You might be able to make NFS working, if it is supported by the router..

I don't think it is unfortunately, or I'd be very happy indeed, I love NFS. It is supported by the Merlin firmware which however does not seem to support my router.

Yes, I can do that (I use the standard KDE file manager, Dolphin, which can browse remotely with SSH using thefish://KIO slave), but that's not what I wanted to do... which I now believe is impossible on my router anyway.
