I'm getting a weird error when I try to sFTP on a CentOS box (which I don't have root access).

 

when I run:

 

sftp -oPort=990 user@host.domain.com

 

I get the following error, which I suspect is a result of not being in "passive mode" (which works when I use Filezilla on Windows)

 

Connecting to host.domain.com

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

 

Any suggestions?
