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?

What if you try to set up port forwarding (inbound rule) on the SXRN3205. Kindly try to open port 22 and pointing to the LAN IP address of the SFTP server. To check if port 22 is really open, access this online port scanner here. Then, try to access your SFTP server either locally or outside your network via a browser using the WAN IP address (for example: http://72.63.x.x:22).
Hope it helps.
