'Compression=delayed' may work better on the client side, or you could set Compression=yes on the server side(be cautious though, since that would affect all sshd connections!) Also, 'blowfish-cbc' might be what you want, I don't see blowfish listed as anything else in its default allowed cipher list.
sftp -o Cipher=blowfish -o Compression=delayed dradmin@xyz
Connecting to xyz...
command-line line 0: Bad yes/no argument.
Connection closed

Problem is that I don't have access to modify the config file to enable the blowfish-cbc When I look at it I don't see any CIPHER parameter setting and also, I only see /etc/ssh as opposed to /etc/ssh2...???? Could that be a problem?
