sftp is not ftp. It connects to sshd, not proftpd. More information on the ssh server you're connecting to could be useful. sftp -v, which should hopefully print more info, would be good too.
They are speaking different languages, like Chinese and Swahili. And trying to speak on different connections, literally.
Just as a simple example:
ssh uses port port 22, ftp uses port 21. If you connect over to proFTPd from ssh/sftp you are talking on 22, proFTPd is listening on 21.
They will never talk.
It is far more complex than that. If you HAVE to use sftp:
can you ssh to the proftpd box and login?
Code:
ssh slufoot80@proFTPDbox
where slufoot80 should be your real username and proFTPDbox should be a real node name.
If you cannot do this, then the sysadmin has to get ssh working on the proFTPD box.
