Hi,

When I tried to do sftp it works fine. Even ssh also works fine. Sftp through curl command it fails.

root_at_5GSM-SRC234610033:/usr/libexec/openssh# sftp -i /etc/sftpkeys/id_dsa ftpuser@[2a00:8a03:190::6:6]

Hmmm...

DSA was deprecated in SSH a decade ago. See the changelog for OpenSSH
6.5/6.5p1 (2014-01-30).

You should try a connection to the server using the DSA key and the sftp command. Transfer a dummy file, like:

    sftp test.txt ftpuser@\[2a00:8a03:190::6:6\]:ftpuser
