8,030 PointsIllegal sftp packet len when using sftp in cyberduck
I have searched around and the problem usually lies with the echo statement in the bashrc file. But I do not have the bashrc file. What maybe the issue here?

Which mentions ...
> Enable ssh access on your server. Use the sftp command in a terminal to verify sftp username@domain_name.
It'll ask for your password. If you don't have ssh access, you'll get Received message too long, hence the error msg in Cyberduck.
So make sure you have SSH access for whatever server you are attempting to SFTP into. If you don't know if your account has SSH enabled open a ticket with your hosting company.
A few things to check ...
- You are using the correct username/password for SSH it may be different then one used to log into cpanel, email, ftp.
- Double check that your SFTP client's ssh version matches that of the server
