Increase the logging level of sftp and read the errors.

What OS are you using? (this is important).

If, for example Linux:

Ref: https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/sftp/

Quote:
-v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh.
Note, you can also set the logging level in ssh_config

https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/5/ssh_config/

Then, please look at your log files and post back any sftp session and error messages.

This is how you debug problems. First start with the log files and error messages.

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
