    No. This is a new installation of OpenSSH on this server.

    As mentioned in my original post, I am currently running in DEBUG syslog
    mode. Here are some additional notes from the logs, and from the client side:

    re: WS_FTP 7.62
    client gets message:
      Failed SSH Key Exchange

    re: PuTTY
    client gets message:
      Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect

    Client protocol version 2.0; client software version WS_FTP-7.62-2002.12.18
    dies immediately after this DEBUG log entry:
      debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS

    Client protocol version 2.0; client software version 1.0
      NOTE: I believe this was CuteFTP Pro..., though it could be PuTTY
    dies immediately after this DEBUG log entry:
      debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS

    Client protocol version 1.99; client software version 1.0
      NOTE: I believe this was PuTTY
    appears to startup the sftp-server, but immediately receives a SIGCHLD
    signal, indicating client (or server) has quit the sftp-server:
      debug1: subsystem: exec() /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
      debug1: Received SIGCHLD.

    NOTE: I believe CuteFTP appears in the logs the same as WS_FTP,
          thought I could have got PuTTY and CuteFTP logs mixed up.

    Yes. Works just fine, as per my message.

    Did you want me to include any of the server DEBUG output, or the
    `sftp -vvv` output?

    Legacy system acquired, due for upgrade to OpenBSD or something else later
    this year.

    Thanks in advance for any pointers you can provide.
