[geil007]

hi all,

i am trying to connect to an AWS hosted SFTP server from my Azure Databricks Notebook.

but getting the SSH Exception error:

SSHException: Unable to connect to s-936a09baf53d41da9.server.transfer.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com: [Errno 111] Connection refused

I have generated the keydata above using: ssh-keyscan s-936a09baf53d41da9.server.transfer.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com

If I don't set the "cnopts" attribute in the Connection, then i get the SSH Exception: No hostkey for host s-936a09baf53d41da9.server.transfer.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com found.

I have checked the AWS SFTP logs, but the request has not even reached there, so there is no logging information.

I am complete lost as to what am I doing wrong here.

Any help or pointer shall really be appreciated, thanks.
