The sftp program flow adds a "fork()" call that is not present in the ssh
program flow. This fork() introduces a layer of process indirection that
results in the portion of sftp that prompts for userid/password to not be
able to recognize that the terminal is a 5250 screen. Not recognizing the
terminal type, sftp gives up on trying userid/password authentication when
run from a 5250 screen. The fork() call does not happen in the ssh flow and
this is why userid/password works from a 5250 screen for ssh, but not sftp.
As Scott mentions, things are OK when run from a genuinely xterm-compatible
screen. VNC in the (free) 5799PTL toolkit is one way to do X windows on i.
Connecting to i via an ssh client like putty (versus iSeries Access terminal
emulation) and then running sftp from that ssh connection is another option.
And Expect is an option for batch
