    Run the server in debug mode to see what's failing:

    I would guess that the "sftp-server" binary is missing or has some other
    problem causing it to not run. (I think winscp uses sftp too, however if
    it uses scp then the same applies but for the "scp" binary).

usually comes from bad judgement.
