Anyone have any thoughts on this? Could someone who has Putty loaded at
least try the command line and let me know if you have the same issue? I
don't have any other SFTP servers to connect to so I'm at a big disadvantage
debugging this.

Thanks!

Hey Scott,
I am having the same problem. If either the user name or the password
is wrong PuTTY just hangs up. I am unable to find any documentation on
this.
I appreciate your help if you can share any info on this with me. (if
you already figured out something about this!)

Thanks,
Surya

I haven't found a real solution, but I did figure out that it's a relatively
recent issue. If I downgrade to an older version of psftp, the hang up
doesn't occur.
