HTTPS host but protocol defaults to FTP

[rodenbaugh]

Hello all: long time user, new problem
I am trying to connect to an HTTPS:// host and using the protocol : SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol. and login in as Normal.
when I click OK or Connect in Site manager, I see the protocol change to FTP before it exits.
I tired port 22 and while I can exit, the host will not connect because a TLS cert is not generated unless I use the HTTPS:

this all DOES work, I have it working on 4 different PC in the office.
the very first time I select HTTPS:// and SFTP, a cert is created and stored and everything works after that.. except this one PC..
Export from a known good PC and importing to this one does not fix the issue.
any ideas on where to start looking?
I thought maybe IE settings?
I thought maybe exporting the cert from a know good PC?

thanks in advance

Where did you select HTTPS://?

[rodenbaugh]

Https:// is the suffix for the host: (or is that a prefix)
Example:
example.com works but https://example.com take the existing protocol of SFTP and changes it to FTP when you click on the Connect button in Site Manager.

FYI:
Version FZ 3.14.1

This version of FileZilla is EOL and does not receive further support. Please update.

Prefix for SFTP servers in QuickConnect is sftp://. HTTPS servers are not supported (only Storj, and some further Cloud providers in Pro).
SFTP does not use TLS certificates, but Host keys.

There simply is no SFTP server listening on that address and port.

If there isn't any, then you cannot use SFTP.

FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL) requires an FTP server of some sort.

From what I see in a quick check, that server has no usable public services. Maybe it is an internal server, accessible only from the workplace?
