  <p>I am using following code with JDK7u79 and JSch library to connect using SFTP.</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
          JSch jsch = new JSch();
          session = jsch.getSession(this.getLoginname(), getHostname(), this.getPortInt());
          Properties config = new Properties(); 
          config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
          session.setConfig(config); 
          session.setPassword(this.getPassword());
          session.connect();
          channel = session.openChannel("sftp");
          channel.connect();
          sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) channel;
      } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          String errMsg = "Could not connect to the SFTP site. Reason: " + e.getMessage();
          throw new IOException(errMsg);
      }

  <p>The very strange thing is that I can connect to the server (on port 22) using WinSCP client. So I am curious why it cannot connect using Java code? Am I missing anything in the code? I am using Windows7 and my FTP server is WingFTP on probably Windows Server 2012.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Regarding one of the comments: My FTP server supports SFTP. Using WinSCP, I can connect to the server using SFTP. Here is the log: Please note, I have masked the IP for security reasons.</p>
