subsystem request for sftp

When I try to connect by FileZilla to server I get error:
Nov 28 08:25:51 server01 sshd[19577]: Accepted password for root from 77.120.137.175 port 55070 ssh2
Nov 28 08:25:51 server01 sshd[19577]: subsystem request for sftp
Nov 28 08:25:51 server01 sshd[19577]: error: subsystem: cannot stat /usr/libexec/sftp-server: No such file or directory
Nov 28 08:25:51 server01 sshd[19577]: subsystem request for sftp failed, subsystem not found
But it is fine to connect via usual ssh connection.

This is easy to fix by creating symbolic link to correct place.
Please find this by locate command :

root@server01 ~]# locate sftp-server
/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server


and them make link:

ln -s /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server /usr/libexec/sftp-server
