If you are trying to do a "get" operation with Capistrano and receive the following error:

or a simple sftp connection and get the following error:
Request for subsystem 'sFTP' failed on channel 0
It is likely your sftp server is not running due to a mis-configuration in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file. For CentOS 5.2 Final on a 64-bit architecture I made the following change:
# The default is incorrect
# Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
The restart ssh server using:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
