I created the symbolic link to STTY and that solved the missing STTY
problem. I am still unable to connect to the server. This is the first
time I am trying to connect.
Why is it talking about key fingerprint when I am attempting to connect
using a user/pwd?
Thanks.

In case Scott's suggestion on where to find stty doesn't help, the thing
that jumps out at me is

I don't use SSH on i, but do use it to log in to my Linux machines at
home from time to time. The first time I connect from A to B, I see
this message on the client. In a nutshell, each SSH server identifies
itself with a key to protect from man-in-the-middle attacks. This
usually only has to be answered once, in which case the SSH client
stores the key in a file called known_hosts. This is usually in the
.ssh in the user's home directory on Linux, again not sure about i.
If you see this message when trying to connect to an SSH server to which
you've connected successfully in the past, you should ask the
administrator of that server why their key has changed. If they don't
think it has, there is a chance someone is trying to intercept your
communication.
