Hi am having the below issue on SFTP usage, I am getting the below error"

ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.plugins.filetransfer.sftp.ReceiveFileOverSFTP - com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: timeout: socket is not established


for my FT_Config, I used the below details.

cast(
'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config',
{
serverHostName: "192.168.246.99",
serverPort: 22,
scsExternalSystemKey: <indicated in SCS>,
usePerUserCredentials: false,
timeout: 60000,
keepAliveTimeout: 60000,
activeMode: false
}
)

I tried the connection details on external application (Cyberduck) and was able to access the remote


thanks!

Seems to be realted with connection issues.. are you behind a proxy or firewall?

You cannot compare trying to connect from your local machine and connecting from Appian. The firewall or other middle-boxes might make one connection work, while the other fails.

I meant, that the problem seems to be related with a connection issue, one of the options could be because the user has direct connection to the server, while Appian has a Proxy or firewall in the middle.
