Ah yes, I had the same response.  Customer is a relatively big local
organization and they have a lot of IT people.  I would think they would have
the support to re-write something from ftp to sftp.... but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's a Windows 2008 server BTW... but I KNOW they could get sftp client side to
work.

Sigh.
