Hi dysonp,
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. What happens if you use sftp://mydomain.com/path/to/server to access the SFTP server on the local network? If there is an error message you encounter, kindly post a screenshot of it.
b. What is the current firmware of the SRX3205?

DaneA, thanks for your reply.
In answer to your questions:
a) It connects but my concern is that it is going out to the WAN and then back into my LAN and, thereby, slowing the data connection down ie. instead of using the data transfer speed of my LAN it will be limited to my ISP connection speeds.
b) Firmware Version:3.1.1-08
I inquired your concern to a higher tier of NETGEAR Support and just got a feedback. It seemed that the issue is how the SFTP client decides whether to go to the internal address, or to the external address. The SRXN3205 cannot decide on that. Thus, that needs to be configured on the SFTP client.
