WinSCP to Pi from external network (DDNS/Port forward SSH)

Question

I have setup home network to use DDNS such that I can login to router from outside network using the custom domain.

I have assigned static (local) IP address to raspberry Pi.

I have port forwarded to this local IP on port 22 for SSH.

I can use PuTTY to login via the DDNS host name to access Pi remotely.

Unfortunately the same settings do not work with WinSCP to do file transfer (SFTP).

---

PuTTY settings (working) look like:

Host Name (or IP address) - ddnsHostName:ddnsPort

Port - 22

Connection Type - SSH

---

WinSCP settings (not working) look like:

File protocol - SFTP

Host Name (or IP address) - ddnsHostName:ddnsPort

Port number - 22

User name - pi

WinSCP error is: Host "ddnsHostName:ddnsPort" does not exist

Answer 1

Host Name (or IP address) - ddnsHostName:ddnsPort

you should NOT put the port here, that's configured in

Port number - 22

So, change the Host Name config to

Host Name (or IP address) - ddnsHostName
