Wonder why I'm getting this message, any tips on where to start TS would be greatly appreciated. This are the 2 types of messages I'm getting without making any changes to the sftp config..., commands are being run on the server, using the cmd windows prompt. the errors are either ssh session disconnected ( but really it's just the sftp, the ssh connection stays open ) or it just stays hung like on the second example. Trial version is not expired.

1)

C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\SHELL>sftp localhost

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

2)
