Description

Version 8.9.1.0

OS: Windows 7

ssh connects correctly but, sftp fails to connect.
I tried with WinSCP, Filezilla, and OpenSSH client: same problem.
I tried also running client from local host: same problem
I tried also installing using scripts instead of msi file: same problem

The same configuration on 8.6.0 works correctly.
sshd_config.txt

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached sshd_config.txt and reproducing the SFTP failure on Windows 7 with version 8.9.1.0, using the listed WinSCP, FileZilla, and OpenSSH clients. Compare the behavior with version 8.6.0; done means identifying the regression and restoring SFTP connections without breaking SSH.
