Got this: sftp -oPort=1373 elhambre@65.19.141.67 ssh: connect to host 65.19.141.67 port 1373: Connection timed out Connection closed Connection closed. It's interesting to compare that output with this one, when trying to connect on port 22: sftp -oPort=22 elhambre@65.19.141.67 ssh: connect to host 65.19.141.67 port 22: Connection refused Connection closed The above tells me that port 1373 is blocked somewhere downstream in the Internet "pipes" thus, the first request never made it to your server, while when using the standard port 22 it reaches its target in a fraction of a second and gets rejected as expected. What's so special about port 1373? https://www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=1373 Anyway, I won't bother you with this any longer. I'll try your service on Johnny for awhile, then may be I'll move to your more "stable" systems if there is room for my tiny WebApps. Thanks guys! -elhambre.

The username I used was indeed "elhambre", so that's not the issue. I was thinking, when I refereed to a possible server-side issue, to a problem in my entry within the OpenSSH config file, assuming that's what you're using... Besides my failed attempts with FileZilla, I also tried this test with the sftp command, both directly (via my ISP) and via a VPN (to somewhat ruleout port 1373 filtering.) export SSHPASS=myUserPwd sshpass -e sftp -oPort=1373 elhambre@johnny.heliohost.org:$HOME_DIR/public_html/myFile.xyz The response output in both cases was the usual: ssh: connect to host johnny.heliohost.org port 1373: Connection timed out Connection closed Thanks for any other suggestion/test/etc... -elhambre

Not really!.. I'm using your typical home user setup: NAT router + ISP. But, it's the first time connecting to an FTP server gave me this much trouble. I did indeed suspect my firewall and/or my router. But the troubleshooting I did, showed that it's not on my end, presuming of course that your server is a OK. Anyway, thanks for your time. I will use limited FTP accounts and change their password at the end of every session. -elhambre

Indeed. But my attempts failed.... Status: Connecting to johnny.heliohost.org:1373...

Now, that's very informative. Thanks!.. But, what about the keys?.. Should I copy/paste the ones on cPanel? or generate new ones from Let's Encrypt ? or is it up to me? and When using SFTP, do we still need the password ? -elhambre

Hi! I'm using Filezilla client following the configuration suggested by cPanel; ie explicit FTP over TLS. In fact, I tested all of them. Only plain FTP is the working config, but that's not an option for me. -elhambre

Hello ! I joined 16+ hours ago and I'm experiencing issues with Johnny FTP server; as it hangs at the "Retrieving directory listing" stage before it times out. I retried as of now (thought it was a temporary glitch), but it's still not working !! Any thought, help will be much appreciated. Thanks! -elhambre
