Hey @ilangovan.swamy hope all is well.

Could you tell us more about your setup. I see you are using cloud version of n8n. It is rather old (1.86.1 is well behind the latest).

What about your sftp server? Where is it connecting? A specific product or just a system you own? Is own system - is it windows or linux? Please tell us more.

[ilangovan.swamy]

sftp hosted in azure Windows VM and yes , we are able to connect sftp from every ware els except from N8N ftp Node, even we have allowed all given on Cloud IP addresses | n8n Docs

Please take a look at the following topic:

Issues connecting to FTP

Describe the problem/error/question Connecting to the ftp server used to work on a previous version of n8n (can´t recall which one). I tried connecting yesterday and the node returned “end: read ECONNRESET“. I also tried testing the credentials to the ftp server and it stayed on a permanent testing loop. The flow is just a test flow: [image] Information on your n8n setup n8n version: 1.109.2 Running n8n via n8n cloud

There I have investigated the issue with a similar problem, where the outcome happened to be that the module used by n8n to connect to another server with ftp over ssh (sftp) fails due to the compatibility problem between the (third party) module and Windows servers.
