For s3 connection, FZ ignores "host:" configuration box so impossible to connect to local s3 server (min.io)

Description
I am running a local min.io s3 server on my local network and FileZilla Pro can not connect to it.
I set the hostname to my min.io s3 server network IP address but I can see in the access logs that FZ ignores my host entry and simply uses an Amazon address instead which of course fails.
The host IP address is entered in the "Host:" box as 192.168.0.43 and Port: 9000 however FZ Pro shows that it is trying to access a different server:
Retrieving directory listing...
Status: Resolving address of s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
Status: Connecting to 52.216.9.37:9000...
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
... so it looks like it has used my port number but ignored my host IP address and used something from AWS or something internal instead.
This seems to be a bug because it is entirely reasonable to expect "Host:" to allow me to connect to a s3 server at my own IP address.

You need to configure custom S3 providers on the S3 providers page in the settings dialog.
The host field is not ignored, it is used to deduce provider and default region.

How to configure custom S3 provider for localhost? I've added screenshots of my configuration (not working) as attachments (see s3-provider-localhost.png and site-manager-s3-localhost.png).

Your S3 provider needs to listen on port 443, don't specify ports in the provider configuration.

Thanks, I've removed the port from the provider configuration (see s3-provider-localhost-no-port.png) and get different errors now

Is the provider configuration ok? Is the site configuration ok? How to configure MinIO to work with FZ Pro? Do I need to configure a reverse proxy for TLS? Would FZ Pro accept a self signed certificate (on localhost)?

Sorry, I forgot to mention you in my response above. I guess, you didn't get notified.

There doesn't appear to be a working HTTPS server at that port. Note that the default HTTPS port is 443.
Localhost is unlikely to work, as it typically doesn't have subdomains. Subdomains are needed to access buckets in the given region's endpoint. If the bucket name for example is "myfiles" and the endpoint is "myregion.example.com", the full hostname is "myfiles.myregion.example.com"
(Since the data is on localhost, why don't you simply access the files directly? No need to transfer them)

I'm using MinIO in (local) development. I just change the configuration (i.e. S3 endpoint) in production. It is not necessary to change the logic/code (less error prone).
I would prefer to use one tool in development and production, but it seems to me that FileZilla Pro can not be used with a local S3 instance (like MinIO).
I'm having the exact same issue. The host field is ignored and defaults to S3 in the US when I need it to connect to Minio via a local IP address. There's also other S3 compatible storage services out there other than S3.
