So far I have managed to install CentOS 7 and Webmin. I have followed this guide in attempt to replace my FTP with SFTP… https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-proftpd-to-use-sftp-instead-of-ftp
For now FTP is still running and working, yet SFTP isn’t. I am getting the following error… Status: Connecting to 000.000.000.000:2222… Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=4 Command: keyfile “C:\Users\Public\Documents\Server Keys\Private.ppk” Command: open “sftpuser@000.000.000.000” 2222 Error: Network error: Connection refused
I have added my ip address into the iptables and I am allowed to connect to any port so I don’t believe this is the problem.
I have however changed the SSH port by default from 22 to port 121, will have have any effect?

SFTP uses SSH to connect to your server. If you’ve changed the default SSH port, make sure to change that in your FTP client as well.
