<![CDATA[SFTP Setup Failure / cannot access paperless via sftp on port 222]]>Hello!

I tried to search for a solution. I tried the following, which all do not work.
Trying to poke the port:

telnet my.cloudron.example 222
-> unable to connect

open terminal from my cloudron of paperless and trying

sftp -P user@paperless.cloudron.example@my.cloudron.space
--Connection reset by 111.222.333.111 port 222

Here I used the password I've setup within cloudron under Profile/App Passwords -> paperleass.cloudron SFTP Only

My instance runs on contabo. I don't use cloudflare. What else can I check? I did not find information about turning sftp on? I restarted the sftp service in cloudron, its running fine.

Just to double check, you can also do something like this: docker inspect sftp | grep IPAddress . This will give an IP address like 172.18.0.2 . Then, on the server itself, try telnet 172.18.0.2 22 (port 22). Does that work?

So most likely there is some firewall setup blocking port 222 on your server. Is there some other external firewall or route based access control setup in contabo for port 222?
