Hi Mary Lou, I had a somewhat similar problem sftp'ing to RedHat Linux system.
Can you ssh to one of those accounts? If so, does it have any login messages that are different/extra compared to when you login to another account? I found that by removing/commenting the login messages (they are in one of your "dot" files - files that start with . in the login directory), then it worked okay. I didn't question it at the time, I just was glad that it worked.

We have a file system and a set of directories on AIX unix that are defined a certain way to prevent each user from seeing each other's directory. When trying to use FTP PRO v8.0 to signon using the owners of the directories (vendor1,2,3) and server type sftp/ssh I receive the error as seen on the ftp log below. I can use FTP PRO V8.0 with the userid psoft which is in the same group as the users vendor1,2,3 with the sftp/ssh server type and I can get to the vendor1,2,3 directories. I can change server type to ftp and the vendor1,2,3 userid's will work but that defeats the whole purpose of the secure connection and why I bought ftp PRO v8.0. I can use FTP PROp V8.0 with any other userid and directories and the server type sftp/ssh and everything works fine. I cannot find an explanation of the error "830c0000 initializing sftp protocol" anywhere on the ipswitch website knowledge docs. What am I missing.
