So are you attempting to connect to ftpst.bank.com via sftp and getting an error? Also, output of the error would be appreciated.

Shalom Rahul,

I believe you are actually connecting to an ftp server with the SFTP client. You might want to confirm the server at the other end of the connection.

The ready message looks a little strange to me. Perhaps its a ftp server with kerebos or something like that. Can't use sftp to connect to such a server.
