I get this error when trying to access/logon to a clients' sftp site. What does it mean? Is there a problem with the setup of their site/the logon account? because I can access other sftp sites okay. Thanks

It looks like the server does not support username and password login only. In addition you have to use your private key for the authentication as shown below:

Sftp sftp = new Sftp();
sftp.Connect("servername", port);

// try using either
sftp.Login("user", new SshPrivateKey("pathToPrivateKey", "keypassword"));
// or method
sftp.Login("user","password", new SshPrivateKey("pathToPrivateKey", "keypassword"));

to be able login to this SFTP server.
