Code:
sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found
As I said in the other thread, it is not strictly necessary to have SFTP installed on the device to get SCP access to the Kindle.

To transfer files to/from the Kindle using SCP (without installing SFTP binaries):
  • Windows - Use WinSCP, but be sure to set the connection protocol to SCP. By default it uses SFTP which will not work in this case..
  • Linux / Mac - Use the 'scp' command line tool, or if you need a GUI you can also run WinSCP under Wine.

Unfortunately sshfs needs SFTP - so if you want to mount the kindle in Linux as a sshfs volume (or do something similar) then you will need to install sftp-server on the device...
