Once again, a bit of progress, but no success:
$ sftp
sftp: open [external machine name]
opening connection to [external machine name]
command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: passwordprompt
Warning: child process (ssh2) exited with code 1.
I've checked: sshd2 is indeed running on the external machine, and as
a temporary stop-gap I
can sftp from the external machine back to my YDL machine, but I'd
like to see this work properly.
