I have a VM running SLES 12 and it cannot sftp to it. I verified both sshd_config and they are identical and sftp is enabled. I can use SFTP option in winscp and it works fine with SLES 12 VM guest but FileZilla sftp timed out as shown below. I guess that many people have this problem reported on web but no answer. Every machine is behind firewall and when WinSCP using SFTP works but not FileZilla. Status: Connecting to 192.168.142.101...
