>sftp sftp.company.com
Connecting to sftp.company.com...
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed

I can resolve and ping sftp.company.com

are you able to connect to the server using ssh over a terminal session ?
did you try using scp instead of sftp ? if yes, what was the result ?

The secure ftp server is for another company which I cannot try scp with.
I can sftp to the secure ftp server using other sftp clients (mainly windows based) no problem. Any other inputs? Thks.

This is due to /etc/hosts.allow
Make an entry for ur server.

Hi,

There are couple of things to check.

1. Ensure that reverse lookup for your system works on sftp.company.com. Try adding your name to /etc/hosts on that system.

2. See if sftp.company.com is implementing tcp_wrappers. If so, make sure your host is not denied by checking it's /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.

could be openssh isn't set up on the other end.

could be a firewall between you and there is blocking.

1.Ensure to put entry in /etc/hosts file
for sftp.company.com
2.Check in /etc/hosts.allow

Since you r able to do it from windows clients thereshouldn't be any problem of firewall.
