Here are the results from logging in as root vs as user:

From user:

The authenticity of host '66.225.207.87 (66.225.207.87)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is b1:29:73:c2:26:c6:1f:6b:83:5a:cd:80:bd:bd:2d:be.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes


Warning: Permanently added '66.225.207.87' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Connection closed by 66.225.207.87
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

From root:

[root@viewridgeproductions1 cj]# sftp 66.225.207.87
