sftp Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

[J.A. Neitzel]

Jon,

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your "second line is not needed"
statement in my other reply.  Just to clarify if I may...

Did you mean the:
	"Connecting to unknown-web-qbcdef.com..."
or the:
	"Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer"
...
line is not needed?
