Unfortunately that's not sufficient information to diagnose exactly
what's wrong. Could you try running your scp and sftp commands again
with liberal use of the '-v' (verbose) flag:
sftp -v -v -v adam@machine.name
If that doesn't tell you immediately what's wrong, please cut'n'paste
the output of the command into a message to this list, plus tell us
what ssh client you're using and any modifications you've made to the
default sshd configurationon your FreeBSD box.
There's also the secureshell@securityfocus.com mailing list, which has
searchable archives available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=secure-shell&r=1&w=2
Cheers,
Matthew
