tracker issue : CF-3040312

Problem:

I'm trying to use the Coldfusion 9 <CFFTP> tag to securely connect to a remote SFTP server. However I just get an invalid data message. I've tried this using CF9 on Windows and MAC OSX.  I've tried connecting to several differnt SFTP servers.The server version is:- SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2
Method:

<cfftp action = "open"username = "myusername"connection = "MyConnection"password = "mypassword"server = "myserver.com"secure = "yes"><p>Successful: <cfoutput>#cfftp.succeeded#</cfoutput><cfdump var ="#MyConnection#" label="connection">
Result:

An error occurred while establishing an sFTP connection.Verify your connection attributes: username, password, server, fingerprint, port, key, connection, proxyServer, and secure (as applicable).
