Re: The server rejected SFTP connection, but it listens for FTP connections.
Indeed, it works after allowing the WinSCP through the wall.
Many thanks.

It turned out to be an issue on the remote end. Their firewall service automatically blocked the IP of our server that sent the file to their FTP server.
...stupid automated blacklist generator. ::sigh::

Re: The server rejected SFTP connection, but it listens for FTP connections.
Most likely a firewall problem or a local network policy.

The server rejected SFTP connection, but it listens for FTP connections.
I wrote an IDE application. It's been running perfectly for over two years.
A customer's SFTP site just started kicking back with the error in the subject.
I assumed they had changed something on their end, so I connected to their site with the WinSCP GUI.
I confirmed the changes, connected successfully, then viewed the Session Settings.
I updated the settings for their FTP site in my EDI Settings page.
I re-ran the EDI Report and got the same failure.
I asked them to check their settings and confirm them with me.
They sent back the updated settings, which matched what I got from the WinSCP GUI.
After speaking with their tech guy, I tested in Visual Studio's IDE and connected with no problem.
I assumed I had updated the application and forgot to push it to the server, so I went ahead and rebuilt it and pushed it to the server.
No change.
The IDE application successfully connects to two other SFTP sites.
I am at a complete and total loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?
