    I'm using :

    OpenSSH_3.5p1 (package)
    Solaris SPARC 8

    and the SSH FIle Transfer Client for Windows 3.2.0 from SSH Security
    Comunications

    and when I try to connect to the server as any user, even root, displays :

    File transfer server could not be started or it exited unexpectedly.
    Exit value 0 was returned. Most likely the sftp-server is not in the path of
    the user on the server-side.

    What can be happening ?
