Have anyone done some research in this area?

I use netcat (have it installed in both ends, the PC and the iliad, for the examples with IP 192.168.1.1 and the iliad, for the examples with IP 192.168.1.13):
1.In the iliad, bring up the ethernet interface (using a script, I use wired ethernet, so I call wired.sh with the apropiate parameters)
2. In the destination, you launch netcat in listen mode (for example in the PC):
$ netcat -l -p 11111 | tar -xf -
3. in the source, you change to the directory and pipe it to a socket (for example in the iliad)
$ cd /mnt/free
$ tar -cf - documents | netcat -q 1 192.168.1.1 11111
4. wait until it finishes :-)
NOTE: to have netcat accesible from all places when in the iliad, make a symlink to it. For example, if netcat binary is installed in /mnt/card/netcat/netcat (fix the paths for your netcat install):
# ln -s /mnt/card/netcat/netcat /usr/bin/

The dropbear installation in the iliad seems to be partial. I've dropbear in the zaurus (I'm using pdaXrom), and scp works.

Openssh has scp, and is a more complete implementation, that's right. In fact, what I cannot get to work is ssh'ing from one dropbear (the zaurus) to another (the asus router), while I can ssh from dropbear (the zaurus) to the PC (linux w/ openssh).
Anyway, if you want to give it a try, I attach to this message wu-ftpd compiled for the iliad (vanilla, I've not changed anything in the sources; just patched the binaries to change the configuration directory from /etc to ./cf). I've not tested it, so the usual caveats apply ;-).
Instructions: untar it into the iliad and launch run.sh :-). It's possible that you have to edit the files in the cf directory for it to be usefull (the ones there are the ones of a default debian installation, I've not even edited them so if they have paths, they'll be wrong).
