What does the error message "Remote scp disabled on this host" mean?

If you try to open an SFTP connection to the Login Service (to access your IFS space) by using the login.itd.umich.edu address, you will receive this error message: "Remote scp disabled on this host."

This is because you must use a different address for SFTP connections. Please connect to sftp.itd.umich.edu for SFTP connections to access your IFS space instead.
