		+
		+	If you need SFTP server functionality with Dropbear, slight manual installation work is needed. Dropbear doesn't come with an SFTP server, so we're going to use OpenSSH's. You cannot install both packages simultaneously, that's why we're doing it by hand.
		+
		+	Find latest openssh-server armel package (Fremantle for N900) from http://maemo.org/packages/view/openssh-server, then fire up Terminal:

		+	== WinSCP ==
		+
		+	WinSCP is an open source client (SCP, SFTP & FTP) for Windows. Its main function is the secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports, in addition to Secure FTP, also legacy SCP protocol.
		+
		+	WinSCP simplifies file transfer between your desktop and N900 by providing a graphical frontend (similar to many FTP progams). Login via SSH is performed in exactly the same way as PuTTY.
		+
