Team,

I'm not sure when this started, but I know for sure I was able to do this in the past.

I'm running cygwin on Windows 10 and want to connect to an SFTP server using the 'sftp' command.

Note that when I try to connect to the same SFTP server using a different client, File Zilla, it works.

When I run sftp, it appears to hang. I've run it with -vvvv to get some debugging output and get the following:

1001 jdk16->> sftp -vvvv -P 2100 192.168.160.62

Here is my local config file (.ssh/config):

Here is /etc/ssh_config:

Yesterday, I upgraded to the latest cygwin packages and now the cygwin DLL is version 3.3.2

I tried running the command with the login user name on the command line (user@192.168.160.62) and
assuming it was just waiting for the password, I tried entering it, but the characters were
just echoed to the terminal and the process continued to hang.

Any idea what is causing this? What can I do to troubleshoot this further?
