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.

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
sftp:// 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.
Yep give me just a few seconds
Remove the sftp:// from the beginning
It gives me a spinning wheel on this
And in the second one, you wrote 2224 for the port, instead of 2223
Both are valid ports but removing the SFTP gave me a new error
Yeah, it's missing the password
user:password@host:port/path
If you use the advanced modeGotcha 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

Any idea on which character set I should be using?
Also i mispoke its ) that is in my password that isnt catching right
UTF8 is fine
Ok im getting further now. I changed my password to not use that character. Now i just gotta get it pointed to the right file
Dont suppose you know which file I need to be poitning to for a linux satisfactory install?
The folder that contains the FactoryServer.sh
So the server install dir
That did it
Thanks you very much
No problem
