Ugh! I've now tried multiple sftp clients (first was Panic's Transmit because it's just nice) and have very likely gotten blocked once again. 🤦‍♂️ I'm very sorry to keep popping up every couple weeks when I have time to test again. I can for sure log into my HelioHost account. I can for sure get into Plesk (when my IP isn't blocked). And I've for sure read the docs in an attempt to avoid bothering you fine folks. My plan for next time is: Follow the steps to reset the SFTP password: `Login > Continue to Plesk > Websites & Domains > [domain] > Connection Info > System user credentials > Click the 'edit icon' next to password` Attempt a command line connection: `sftp -i /dev/null sftp://beporter@morty.heliohost.org:1373/httpdocs` Go form there.

Is the failed connection attempt limit `3`, perhaps? I went back to my root heliohost username and sftp password, but my SFTP client (Panic's Transmit.app) kept trying to use an ssh key instead of the saved password. That required adding a block to my `~/.ssh/config`: Host morty.heliohost.org PasswordAuthentication yes PreferredAuthentications password IdentitiesOnly yes IdentityFile /dev/null But by the time I got that set, it was apparently too late again. 🤦‍♂️

Many thanks to both of you. 🙇‍♂️

Like others, I suspect my home (static) IP to be blocked from repeated attempts to figure out the correct SFTP connection details. Are additional plesk/domain user accounts with the "Upload/Manage Files" permission allowed to SFTP into the server? I'm trying to follow the principle of least privilege here and not use my root HelioHost account credentials in a GitHub Action to deploy the site.
