Downloaded and installed WinSCP. Maybe you have some thoughts on an error
message I'm receiving when I try to connect to a remote server:

"Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
Received too large (1131770482 B) SFTP packet. Max supported packet size is
102400 B."

AFAIK, the server *does* permit SFTP connections. If it's at all relevant, I'm
trying to connect to port 22, which is the port that automatically comes up in
the login window of WinSCP.

Thanks.
