Which port do I need to connect to?

    You'll need to use the special ports provided by your host. Setup you FTP server to listen on one of those ports or use the custom SSH port you were given for SFTP/SCP.

    On Linux, you should be able to:

    sftp -oPort=yoursshport externalnodeip
    

    On Windows, assuming you're using FileZilla, put this in the host box:

    sftp://externalnodeip 
    In the port box, your assigned SSH port.

    if ur ip address is 1.2.3.4 and port is 420

    then u must enter

    sftp -P 420 [email protected]

    replace the 1.2.3.4 to ur Nat IP and 420 to ur port

    I used one of the ports I was assigned.

  • You need to use the SSH port - not just a random one.
