Hello,

I started from scratch again. To this end I connected the reader via USB port to the Win7 PC and I deleted the @Sshd_start.app, @Sshd_stop.app and the pb_sshd directory form the applications folder. Then, I did re-extract the ziparchive pbsshd_1.3_fwv5.zip to the applications folder. In the pb_sshd folder I did created a file (without extension) called create-keys.

After unplugging the reader form the USB port I did start the WiFi and the @Sshd_start.app.

Then I connected the reader to the PC using the USB port. In the /applications/pb_sshd/etc/ssh/ I did find this time a file called /authorized_keys2 that contained a long text string. I assume that is my public key.
In the pb_sshd directory I did find two files called id_rsa and id_rsa.pub I moved these files to a dedicated folder on my PC.

After unplugging the reader I did start first the readers WiFi from the seeting dialogue and after I saw the WiFi Icon in the upper right corner of the readers screen I did start the @Sshd_start app. The WLAN on the router was switched on constantly.

On the Win7 PC I started Filezilla and added the public key (edit, setting, sftp, add keys file) to the program. According to my router my ebook was assigned the IP 192.168.1.116 (This is most likely different for any other WLAN and your ebook). Using File, Site manager I defined a new site wit IP 192.168.1.116 and port 1124. I chose SFTP protocol and user sreader.

I could then connect with out a password. However, during the first connection, I did receive some sort or error / warning message stating something like an update of the security keys or connection to the wrong server.I did continue and accepted an update of the security information.

The external SD Card I did find under /mnt/ext2 in the remote (left) site field.
Copying of files to the SD Card was possible. I think careful use of the mouse is a good idea so you do not move system files and folders on the reader to a different position. I guess moving system files can permanently damage your reader.

I do hope the brief description will help other Windows users to transfer books to their Pockebook Lux 2 (626) directly in their private WLAN and keeping their private data private.

Thanks rkomar for this brilliant development

cheers
