SFTP will not work if your session startup shell script writes anything to stdout for non-interactive sessions. In your case, tcsh will be executed regardless of the session type (interactive or not). So you need to prevent execution of tcsh for non-interactive sessions. Because SFTP starts a shell session in non-interactive mode (before starting sftp-server) and SSH starts session in the interactive mode (unless you give the command to be executed as an argument to the ssh client) you could add another condition to your 'if' operator testing the type of session. For example, in bash in interactive mode PS1 is set and $- includes i, allowing you to test this. Alexey Fadyushin.
