motionEyeOS 20190911
I am running motionEyeOS version: (insert your version here, e.g. 20180314).
Raspberry Pi 3A+
I am using the following board/model: (insert your board model here, e.g. Raspberry PI 3B+).
Camera
I am using the following type of camera: MMAL Camera
My camera model is: camera not connected yet - still in initial setup
Network Connection
My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: WIFI, using Access Point, as per https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/WiFi-Access-Point
Peripherals
I am using the following peripherals that I consider relevant to this issue: None
Log Files
I consider the following log files relevant to this issue:
motioneye (1).log
boot (1).log
Background / context: My intention is to create a MotionEyeOS camera that triggers a DSLR out in the field. The separate circuit to do this triggering in known to work. I am using Action Buttons to trigger a GPIO pin, as per https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Action-Buttons
Now I want to use the Access Point functionality because there is no wifi out in the field.
Access Point works with the given instructions. ie: I formatted the SD card, flashed it, copied into the Boot partition: hostapd.conf, dnsmasq.conf and os.conf. MotionEye boots up, and I can connect to the Access Point, and I can use a browser to administer things as normal.
But I still need to get the action-button files onto the device. Like : /data/etc/light_on_1 and /data/etc/light_off_1, as mentioned in the Action-Buttons wiki page.
From the browser, under Services, SSH Server is ON.
From my PC, once I have connected to the Access Point (and have browser running the ME admin screen), I open PuTTY and point it to the device. A few seconds later it comes back with a fatal error : Connection Refused.
Are there additional steps to use SSH with the Access Point? Or Is there a different way I can get the files onto the sd card (and make them executable)? Is there a way to toggle between Access Point and Wifi?
Same issue here using Raspberry PI Zero W. I've also been watching a thread where others reported the same issue in October.
Same issue with SSH "connection refused" when attempting to SSH while connected to RPi as AP. Though I'm on the 202002 version.
I think it was supposed to be fixed in the 20200606 version, but may not be working.

Yeah, I had the 20200606 version, but had to switch back to 202002... because on the most current version, I can't even get the AP to start as a standalone device. https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/2428#issuecomment-650494822
Was there ever a fix for this? I am having the same issue was well.
If i use 20200606 it looks like hostapd stops working because of ssh and the access point stops showing up.
if i use 20200203 the access point works, but sshd is down.

The fix for me was to make sure to use ap0 instead of wlan in the config files. Newer versions of MEOS require a slightly different setup.
Check this out and see if it helps any.
