Here what I try to do; from my router ([email protected]). I want to SCP a file on my PC and copy it to my router.
So, if I'm already in ssh remote: root@openwrt: SCP root@mypc? What is my PC, home/username?

This won't work as your PC would need to have a SSH service running.
Do it the other way around: run a SCP program on your PC (e.g. WinSCP if your PC runs Windows OS, scp if it runs Linux, etc.), use it to connect via SSH to your router ([email protected]), and transfer the file. No need to know your PC's current user name and IP address.

I run Linux, so winscp is windows but anyway this part is a script's process. I want to include that into my scriptJames78– James782022-03-07 16:14:00 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2022 at 16:14

Yep ok, but my problem is the script is running on the router and at the end, I need to exit from router session to SCP from PC so. To exit from script and ssh router's session, what is the command ?James78– James782022-03-07 16:52:53 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2022 at 16:52
You can run the following commands on your linux PC.
To get current logged in username:
whoami
To get the IP address:
hostname -I

1question is asking for username and most probably cannot scp from router using hostname 'mypc', so I suggested to find out ip address as well.badrul– badrul2022-03-08 10:18:00 +00:00Commented Mar 8, 2022 at 10:18

Those are username and ip address that you can use for your script on your router. From your router, you can run: scp <file-on-router> <pc-username>@<pc-ip-address>:badrul– badrul2022-03-09 06:07:27 +00:00Commented Mar 9, 2022 at 6:07
