That worked.

This didn't work.  On impulse I tried 'ifconfig -a' and found that I had 
reversed the addresses for host (which IS 182.168.1.3) and remote (which IS 
192.168.1.4) in BOTH /etc/hosts files,  What a twit!  :-(

I can now connect using SSH2 in gftp.  :-)

Thanks, everyone for your combined help.
