on FreeBSD:
	man sftp says -v option exists
	man ssh also offers -v
so try both those from Win/Lose/Mickesoft (*),
Also ref.
	man sshd 
try 
	 kill -9 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
or hash out sshd line in /etc/inetd.conf & then 
	kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
& then run  as root
	/usr/sbin/sshd -D -d 
& 
	more /var/run/auth.log

(*) PS I hate MS & dont use it, but doesnt invalidate debug stuff above
though, except you might need to start ssh from a command line to
add a parameter, rather than just clicking.

Cheers,
Julian
