SFTP connection fails in Fabric

Good day!

I am trying to send csv file to an internal SFTP server, the connection on Power BI gateway works but fails in Fabric.

 

The error message is: Meet network issue when connect to Sftp server xxxxxx,  SocketErrorCode: 'ConnectionRefused'. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

 

Does anyone have the idea about the error?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi @caomayan 

 

Make sure that your local machine or Fabric runtime environment can access the SFTP server on the specified port (22 by default). Firewalls or network restrictions may prevent connections.

 

Solved: Internal Error Occurred - SFTP Connection - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

You can try entering your SFTP server address. For example: example.com. If the server uses a non-default port (22), add the port number to the address, for example: example.com:2222.
