Setting up sftp.

["David" <teanau singnet com sg>]

Hi,

I got ssh working between 2 computers and I want to take advantage of sftp
as well. I did not find any sftp packages to install. I read the sftp-server
manpage which says that sftp-server is started by sshd. Therefore, I tried
to connect to the other machine using sftp by failed. It prompts me for
password and upon supplying the correct password, an error message appears
saying "<something> is too long" (sorry, can't remember the exact
<something>) and disconnects there after. So, did I miss out anything or did
anything wrong? btw, can anyone point me to a good tutorial on the web to
set up ssh and sftp? Although I got ssh running, I don't really understand
how it authenticate users. It just works out of the box, thankfully. :)

Thanks,
David
