How to connect using WinSCP to community pod?
I created a pod with community option and clicked the public IP. When I check the connect button on web UI I dont see IP address. When I use runpodctl get pod <pod id> -a it does return pod info with IP address = 100.65.10.109:60679->19123 (prv,http),100.65.10.109:60678->8020 (prv,http) . I assume "prv" means private IP? where is the public IP?
Using WinSCP (latest version) I picked SFTP file protocol and enter Ip address = 100.65.10.109 under hostname and port= 22 and set the private key in advanced button but it cant find host. I tried "ping 100.65.10.109" and it cant find it so I assume that IP is private?
Or is there a way to just use the pod ID as the hostname?
Thanks in advance

Http? For http you must use the proxy via runpod's url that one that contains pod id
Or you can select machines that have public ip like in the website. I'm not sure how about from runpodctl seems like you're using it.
Then after you got the pod you can use the tcp from connect button
Expose the ports too beforehand
In edit pods
WinSCP relies on a forwarded SSH port so if you use community cloud make sure to enable the Public IP checkbox to only obtain instances that allow this
