SFTP dedicated server failed to connect

I am attempting to connect to my server through the mod manager and it returns a "no such host" error. Ive verified that I can connect to the server using WinSCP on the same machine as the mod manager.

Solution

So the issue was my password contained a character that was not allowed in the URL.

Are you using the simple or advanced mode of SMM's Manage Servers menu? If simple mode, did you include the in the host field? (you shouldn't)

I tried both. Im hosting the server using AMP game server. And verified I can WinSCP just fine into there server.

And i did not include the sftp:// in the host name either.

Can you show a screenshot of the error and the fields?

AMP generated a sftp link that works for winSCP as well.

Liquidzer0OP•10/17/24, 6:22 PM

Yep give me just a few seconds

Remove the sftp:// from the beginning

Liquidzer0OP•10/17/24, 6:23 PM

It gives me a spinning wheel on this

And in the second one, you wrote 2224 for the port, instead of 2223

Liquidzer0OP•10/17/24, 6:24 PM

Both are valid ports but removing the SFTP gave me a new error

Yeah, it's missing the password

Mircea•10/17/24, 6:24 PM

If you use the advanced mode

Liquidzer0OP•10/17/24, 6:25 PM

Gotcha how do a properly escape the # character which is a part of my password

Then it could be the path in the second one being filled in with an invalid path. You can leave that empty to get a file picker, or the path to the server if you know it already (without any of the other information, just the )

Liquidzer0OP•10/17/24, 6:33 PM
