Yes.  Please debug this on the local host first.  That will be much
simpler.

Try it again on the local host and show us the error output.

  ssh -v localhost

And then again with sftp.

  sftp -v localhost

Also show us the entire /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

If this problem continues then eventually you should run it manually
with 'sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 24' (use an unassigned port number
temporarily) which will start up a daemon in debug mode on that port.
The connect to it with 'sftp -oPort=24' and see what debug messages
are emitted.

First set up a debug server:

  $ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 24

And then in another terminal:

  $ sftp -oPort=24 -v localhost
