SFTP login fails or times out

SFTP says wrong password, connection refused or times out.

Use port 2022, the exact username from Settings and your current CoreX password; timeouts are usually your network.

Before you start: The Settings tab open.

Step by step

1. Check the port is 2022, not 21 or 22.
2. Copy the username again from Settings; it includes a dot and your server ID, and a typo there looks like a wrong password.
3. Use your current CoreX account password; if you changed it, update FileZilla. Google accounts must set a password under Security first.
4. The protocol must be SFTP, not FTP or FTPS.
5. For timeouts, try another network or a hotspot, and allow FileZilla through your firewall.
6. Too many failed logins can block you for a short time; wait 15 minutes before trying again.

Check it worked: You connect and see the files.

Why it happens: The SFTP password follows your CoreX password; networks often block unusual ports.
