Hello,
I believe I found a bug in Remote Desktop Manager for macOS when using FileZilla as an external SFTP client.
My connection settings are:
Application: FileZilla
Protocol: SFTP
Host: 88.119.xx.xx
Port: 222
Authentication: Username and password
Problem:
When launching the connection from Remote Desktop Manager, FileZilla attempts to connect using the default SSH port (22) instead of the configured port (222).
As a result, authentication fails.
Workaround:
I discovered that changing the Host field from:
88.119.xx.xx
to:
88.119.xx.xx:222
while keeping the Port field set to 222 makes the connection work correctly.
I also verified that connecting directly from the macOS Terminal using sftp -P 222 works without any issues.
Expected behavior:
Remote Desktop Manager should automatically pass the configured Port value to FileZilla without requiring the port to be included in the Host field.
Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue or a bug in the FileZilla integration?
Thank you!
Hello,
You are correct, I compared our version to RDM Windows' version and we did not apply the custom port like they did. Changing the host and adding :port at the end is a valid workaround from your side, but I will still open a ticket and implement the feature properly. Thank you for your report.
Best regards,
Maxim Buisson
