Problem flashing Ubiquiti Litebeam AC3

I have followed the instructions at https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/arednGettingStarted/installing_firm... to a "T". I had to upgrade the firmware to 8.7.4, no problem. But I can't copy the AREDN firmware to the Litebeam. 

From the command prompt, I tried 
scp <aredn-image-factory.bin> admin@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin

No go- received unable to negotiate error.


Tried the next one- 
scp -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa <aredn-image-factory.bin> admin@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin

No go- "This key is not known by any other names". Do you want to continue- type yes/no/fingerprint.... I typed yes, but got Host Key Verification Failed.

Tried the final one
scp -O -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oUserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no <aredn-image-factory.bin> admin@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin

Also no go- after entering the admin!23 password, I got "sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found cdp: Connection closed"



According to the instructions, I'm out of options. What now?

Tim, did you try this procedure by first downgrading the software to 8.7.0, per the procedure?  That should have been your first try, but your note doesn't indicate you tried that first.

Yes, I tried loading 8.7.0, but it was not acceptable- guess I got one of the newer devices. So, I had to load 8.7.4 and that was successful.
