Hi,
I tried to connect with SFTP in Make, but I always have the same error : “IP adress is not valid”.

I asked some help to ChatGPT and I did this :

  • Checked my IP adress : it’s OK (adress IPv4 for my Wi-fi)
  • Created OpenSSH SSH Server functionnality
  • Checked that my port 22 is open
  • the name is the name I find here : C:\Users*aurel*\Documents\
  • the password is the one I use to connect to my Microsoft account

Somebody knows why the connection doesn’t work ?

Have a good day

Welcome to the Make community!

That is because you have inserted a local IP address, which is not accessible from Make’s servers.

You need to use a public IP address, which you can purchase from your ISP, or rent a public web server.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
