Why does ssh work but not sftp? What is wrong with my configuration?
sftp works OK in the other direction, from sony06 to dell03.

You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
When you connect via ssh, you get a login shell. When you connect via
sftp, you get a non-login shell, which communicates with the sftp command
via standard output. Make sure your non-login shell doesn't print
anything (say, from .bashrc).
