That is not quite correct...

By default, WinSCP attempts to use the SFTP protocol - which causes the application to fail to connect because there is no SFTP binary on the device. If instead, you set the application to use the SCP protocol, it will connect without any additional modification to the device.

By the same token, if you (like me) use linux, you are able to scp files to and from the device using the CLI, ie:

Code:
scp root@10.0.0.1:/var/local/java/prefs/browser/bookmarks_wv .
all of the above works WITHOUT the need to install the sftp-server binary... (Of course you still actually need to have the SSH binary installed on the device)
