Hello there, CyberPanel uses 8090 TCP port, so you might want to allow it. Also if you got a VPS at Hostinger you can simply reset the firewall to fix this issue. Alternatively, try disabling ufw all together to see if that helps.

Hello, try testing the connection with https://ftptest.net/. It will show if the issue is on your server or your device.

Hello there! Make sure you got SFTP set up properly along with SFTP settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I would suggest following this tutorial for more information. You can skip the Install SSH and Manage SSH Service parts since our VPSs already have SSH installed.

If any issues occur, don’t hesitate and contact our live support, and we’ll gladly help you out.

Hello, Love the tutorial it is very straight forward and explains every step needed.

After following your tutorial I still can’t connect on FileZilla, port 22 is open and hostinger account is set, I can access the virtual machine on it.

Status: Connecting to {ip-address}…
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=11
Command: open “hostinger@{ip-address}” 22
Status: Using username “hostinger”.
Command: Pass: *************
Status: Connected to {ip-address}
Error: Could not connect to server

Any advice to fix this?
