TCPIP SHOW VERSION (or whatever makes sense
with your IP software)?

sftp -"V"

> am trying to SFTP a file.

Not a useful description of what you did.
Actual command? Actual output?

What's at the other end?

FTP and SFTP are different.

DIRE /FULL sftp_test_20.txt

Most of the files that I transfer using sftp need to first be converted to stream_lf documents.

If the SFTP is from Process Software (MultiNet, TCPware or SSH for OpenVMS), then it most likely encountered end of file while doing an automatic conversion of the file to stream-lf format. SFTP uses an estimate of the file size to figure out how much data it needs to transfer and when the file needs to be converted to stream-lf this estimate is usually high.
