  • Hello, we are trying to connect to an sftp client using this plugin. With the same data (host, port) and credentials with which we can access through filezilla, appian always returns timeout. Both using the endpoint as a host (connection through the configured Appian IPsec tunnel), and with the host the sftp IP (without VPN, only through the Internet, we have Appian on cloud). It may be due to this parameter configured in the SFTP (it already happened to us with another plugin): require_ssl_reuse = true??

    Thank you.
