I am using winssh 3 server on windows 2000 server. I can sucessfully
ssh and sftp via putty. When I used my linux box i can ssh to it fine.
However when I do sftp I get connection refused. Exact error i get is
below. Below that is my ssh_config file. Other people outside of
company have tried to sftp to that server with same results. I have
examined my firewall logs and do not see any packet being blocked on
port 22. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the problem might
be?

Thanks alot for your help in advance.
