After a recent failure of a FVX538, a replacement was put into place (I had a spare), and I imported the previous failed unit's config. But now my SFTP is not working (whereas everything else it).
I am unable to get my FVX538 to accept SFTP over port 22. I have verified that my SFTP server is operating properly and have tried to telnet to the machine behind the firewall over port 22 and it is closed, yet the rule is clearly setup correctly.
What DOES work is creating a new custom rule to have a service on 1022 (let's call that service SFTP1022) and creating an allow always rule to direct traffic inbound on 1022 to port 22 to the IP address where the SFTP server is. This proves if I'm not mistaken that the machine which is the SFTP server is listening properly on 22 and accepting the traffic. However when the rule is the default SFTP service and the allow rule uses that, the firewall blocks the traffic.
The first thing that came to my mind is there is a chance that the config file is corrupted or there is a chance that the router that died have a different firmware version than the one you are using. My advice is to remove the inbound rule that is already created and then re-enter it on the inbound rules table.
