Problem connecting to server via SFTP (SSH) with FileZilla on macOS (Monterey)
Posted: 2023-02-12 14:59
I am trying to connect via SFTP to my server (Debian based NAS) using FileZilla 3.63.1 and it works perfectly fine with one exception:
As soon as I try to connect via FileZilla and replace the external IP "XXX.XXX.XXX.XX" that I got assigned from my ISP and which gets renewed every 24 hours with my dynamic DNS URL like "xyz.myfritz.net" then the connection does not work anymore through FileZilla:
By using the external IP "XXX.XXX.XXX.XX" from the router it works with FileZilla as it should:
If i try to connect from my Mac terminal being it SSH/SFTP using the very same xyz.myfritz.net dynamic DNS URL everything works as expected.
Using the Windows version of FileZilla within the same network environment works also as expected.
A regular "oldschool" non SSH FTP connection works perfect using FileZilla for macOS in combination with the very same dynamic xyz.myfritz.net URL.
The only combination that does not work is a SFTP connection with FileZilla for macOS and the dynamic xyz.myfritz.net URL.
Is this a FileZilla for Mac and/or macOS issue?
