At the first instance, you're using an invalid shell, provided /bin/false is inside the /etc/shells
user:x:8005:508::/export/home/user:/bin/false :/

whatever, can you post the outputs?
cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config
check if symbolic link exists between /bin -> /usr/bin

Why were those lines commented out? And try adding/ changing those in bold.

# ForwardAgent no
# ForwardX11 no
RhostsAuthentication no
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
RSAAuthentication yes

but the sftp was working for me with other user on the same machine ....

through port 22

only this user giving the prob.

i suspect about the user:x:8005:508::/export/home/user:/bin/false

but the it says

/bin/false disallows login with telnet/ssh it does not disallow ftp/sftp as you only run your shell when you direct login
