See "Logging" tab of login dialog.

I asked my admin too, and he can get in, I just can't.

Ask him to check server's log to see reason of your problems. It may be wrong password, disabled account or even bug in WinSCP.

newbie: trouble connecting to host

I've been using WinSCP for over 2 months now, and no problems. Tonight, when I tryed to login, it told me that it can't connect to the host, but it had already connected to the host, it just doesn't authenticate. It brings up a box that asks me to retry connecting to the host. Then, if I click "Abort" this is the message it gives me:
"Authentication failed.
<<More
Authentication log (see session log for details):Using Username: "sherri".
Terminated by user.

Any ideas?! :?
