I'm running sftp from a Solaris server to a Windows server. The manual session is working. But when I use Net::SSH::Perl, the session hangs at "Waiting for NEWKEYS message.";

server1.com: Reading configuration data /export/home/xxxxx/.ssh/config
server1.com: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
server1.com: Connecting to sftp.docufree.com, port 22.

server1.com: Host 'sftp.xxxx.com' is known and matches the host key.
server1.com: Computing shared secret key.

server1.com: Waiting for NEWKEYS message.

I know the next line should be "Enabling incoming encryption/MAC/compression". So maybe encryption is an issue here? I know the remote Windows server only only support AES (128 | 256). What encryption Net::SSH::Perl is using? 3des?

I just can not figure out why it hangs at "Waiting for NEWKEYS message"? What is the NEWKEYS message?
