If you have issues with Dropbear SSH2 client/server package from here please post in this thread.

Running the latest version of Dropbear SSH2 client/server when running this dbclient command:

dbclient -T -p 22 -i /gotomydvr/etc/id_rsa.db gotomydvr_user@68.178.174.173 -R 12191:127.0.0.1:80 -L 7:127.0.0.1:7 &

After about 2-3 minutes the process reports as stopped. This is the strace:

read(0, 0x100021f9, 32759) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGTTIN (Stopped (tty input)) ---
--- SIGTTIN (Stopped (tty input)) ---

If I run it without the & at the end it works indefinitely.

So, it does work when in the foreground right?

hum... dbclient now accepts -f and -N, so maybe try that and leave the ampersand out. This will cause dbclient to background itself after authentication.

is it possible to configure dropbear to support sftp connections? i see the reference to the sftp subsystem here, but i'm not quite sure how that might apply in this scenario.

thanks!
