1) The remote server must have your public key in his authorized_keys.
2) The keys must not be generated with a passphrase/password.
3) Check your favourite search engine with the string "ssh without password" to get more info.

As I wrote - either the public key of your ftp user is not added in the authorized_keys on the destination system or there has been entered a password/passphrase when generating that key.

If you did both, what does a
Code:
ssh SFTREGUP1@14.71.26.6 "ls"

show?

I don't know how to retrieve the passphrase for a key. Try asking the guy that created it, if he wrote it down in some sealed envelope.
Maybe it's easier to recreate the key and exchange it on the systems.

You did not write what error came when using ssh.
