Secure FTP User Authentication failed - Anyone Using CF sFTP?

Question

I have the following code set-up to connect to a secure FTP server. From everything I am reading this is correct and should work.

<cfftp action="open"

username="username"

connection="My_query"

password="password"

fingerprint="fingerprint hex code"

server="server"

secure="yes">

But on run, I get a user authentication failed error message. I have been able to connect to the FTP server using Core FTP and the user/password. I am able to connect to our non-secure FTP server without any issues.

Is there something else that must be configured or enabled to allow the connection? Am I missing something?

Addition Info: We are running ColdFusion 8 on a windows box.

That 'fingerprint' property is a new one to me, I've never seen or used that before.

Whenever I have read about using secure FTP from the ColdFusion server, I read advice about installing a security certificate into the Java JRun4 license store. But I have never had to do this, since I have never had to use ColdFusion to make ftp requests to a secure ftp server.
