    hi,

    I experienced, in some cases with some ftp client, it happen the same
    thing and no relevant logs messages were present.

    For obtaing some log messages i tried to put these entris in my SSHD_CONFIG file:

    # Logging
    #obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
    SyslogFacility AUTH
    LogLevel DEBUG

    In /etc/syslog.conf put this entry:

    auth.debug /var/adm/sshlog

    The create the log file:
    touch /var/adm/sshlog

    kill -HUP $SYSLOG_PID

    then retry to use SSH/SFTP and check your error (send them to me)

    I changed my sftp client (Secure FX), and now it runs well
