SFTP Backups

Does anybody know what command a scheduled SFTP backup runs under the hood on a Spark appliance?

I have a new SFTP server.  I'm specifically using SFTP instead of SCP so that I can harden the server more (take away CLI login from the backup users and jail them to a specific folder).  

This is working perfectly on proper Gaia (using SSH keys), but Spark appliances only give me the option of username/password. 

I've tested from the command line on a Spark, logging in and doing an SFTP PUT and it works perfectly, but when I use the same details in the scheduled backup, my SFTP server shows a successful login immediately followed by the session closing, and no backup file transferred.  

I've got LogLevel=DEBUG3 set in my sshd conf file, but still it doesn't give me enough info to troubleshoot why the scheduled backup logs in then closes immediately.  I don't see any attempt to try and transfer the file after the successful authentication.

Just wondered if anyone cleverer than me has any ideas?

Any relevant logs at all? Is it locally or centrally managed?

Best,
