The password keys... the files that tell the system you are connecting to 
that you are a trusted user on a trusted system.

Does "sftp user at somesite" require you to enter a password?

If it does, then system you are using doesn't recognize whatever "password 
file" has been set up for automatic connection.  This "password file" can 
be set up with ssh keys, or through .netrc. (And maybe other ways too, 
these are the only ones I'm familiar with.)

If it doesn't require a password, then I have no idea where the problem 
may be.
