Resolving The Problem

Sterling B2B Integrator internally makes use of sshtool’s (licensed vendor software) APIs to perform any SFTP operation. The issue described is identified as known problem for some client software (like Sterling B2B Integrator) talking to GlobalScape server and is published through following article on sshtool’s website: https://javassh.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210075646

It is not Sterling B2B Integrator issue. Rather it must be fixed on GlobalScape Server. The customers are directed to change a registry key on the GlobalScape server in order to fix this.
