9 Egads, this is U Toronto? Still using ssh-1?

11 SSH-1 does not have the concept of subsystems, so while your version
12 of ssh and scp can communicate with the ssh server at the other end,
13 you cannot 'pass to subsystem sftp'...
14
15 Whay you need to do, assuming that you university is using a version
16 of ssh that bundles with an sftp-server, but NOT ssh-2, is to first
17
18 1. ssh into the server in question.
19 2. track down the path to the sftp server binary. In gentoo with
20 openssh it is /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server.
21 3. Try running sftp with the flag '-s path-to-sftp-server-binary' the
22 path should be the absolute path on the remote machine.
23
24 Alternatively, ask your IT people about sftp. They should be able to
25 tell you if it is possible to be used. And if not, tell them to
26 upgrade to ssh-2 already. :)
