In reality however, depending on what the OP wants to do with SFTP,
he may find the version he is using utterly broken and in need of
more recent images from HP.

It's embarrassing that the vendor supplied TCP/IP stack for it's
enterprise level operating system cannot even get the basics right
and that customers are forced to point out that Linux works just
fine in similar circumstances before said vendor supplied stack
gets fixed.

(The OP's TCP/IP version is the same version I was using when I had the
series of SFTP/SSH issues I discussed in comp.os.vms a few months ago.)
