looks like dropbear's dev could remove support of scp command from
itself becauss openssh command change scp's behavior to use sftp by
default and it due to many bugs found by AI. currently it's still
maintained, but he opened PR that remove scp from codebase. (
https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/pull/442 )
If this happends openwrt may need to uplift openssh into main and bundle
openssh-sftp-server by default, (or they could make some minimal sftp
support. I hope) while it's not happening right now I think this needs
mention here as openwrt doesn't currently inlcude any sftp support by
default
