[gftp] Re: sftp still doesn't work after following FAQ

[Brian Masney <masneyb@gftp.org>]

Hi,
   Did you try running the ssh command that gftp is executing from your
terminal? That should tell you the problem. You will probably see output 
similiar to this:

$ ssh -l masneyb hostname "echo -n xsftp ; sftp-server"
xsftpbash: sftp-server: command not found

If you still have problems logging in with SSH, I'd suggest upgrading to
2.0.15. I improved the ssh login code and it'll give out more informative
error messages.

Brian
