SSH broken / OpenSSH 3.5p1

[boltronics]

FileZilla 2.1.3a dies using SFTP, even though WinSCP2
and gFTP work fine. A command from FileZilla is sent to
the server that this daemon just doesn't like. I don't
know what it is though. If this client supports OpenSSH
3.5p1 (the standard Gentoo e-build with scripts to
chroot individual users), then it's a bug.

Any help is appreciated.

Did you have problems with older versions of FileZilla?

If yes, please try the following:
FileZilla uses code from PuTTY
(​http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) to
connect using SFTP. Please download the PSFTP tool and
try to connect to your server with it.
If PSFTP can't connect to the server either, you've to get in
contact with the Putty developers regarding this bug.
If PSFTP does work, the problem is caused by FileZilla.

Confirmed: It's PuTTY's fault - it cannot connect either!
Thanks!
