I'm not familiar with remote execution like this, but are you specifying zsh on the Windows side or is it somehow inherently being assumed for the remote? A quick little hack to try may be to copy the zsh executable on Windows to ash and see if it fools the remote side.

Instead of using ssh, I tried with scp. This time I got a different error.

The error, I think, is from the remote end.

/bin/sh: /bin/zsh: not found

Clearly, I am using zsh on my Windows, but my remote OpenWRT system only has ash installed. Is
there's way to specify the shell to use on the remote end?

I can't help you here. I've never used openwrt. All I can suggest is to
search openwrt documentation or try with cgywin.

Good luck.
