Goal: list all files on the Ubiquiti Bullet2 filesystem, and grab a copy if possible
Reasoning: the built-in tools (BusyBox-based) doesn't include 'find' or 'ls -R' functionality to recursively list files
Attempt #1 — use sshfs from a more endowed machine, and use 'find' from that machine
- fail — BusyBox doesn't include 'sftp' functionality [1], and sshfs requires sftp [2]
- (oddly, BusyBox includes 'scp' functionality, but apparently that isn't enough for sshfs
Attempt #2 — use tar+ssh, having tar store the output on a remote filesystem instead of the local one
- if the endowed box is Ubuntu, you may have to first run this:
- the BusyBox tar command is a bit fiddly, but this is the command-line I eventually got to work:
  You CAN try something like this:
  however, that gets hung up on /proc/kcore, so you explicitely have to exclude /proc/.
