Hi Stephen,

 

What am I supposed to select from the drop down menu for SFTP server?

 

 

I have configured a new profile called SFTP. Not too sure if correctly, but was wondering if I can chose FTP for the "Ftp Profile" or it won't work?

Just figured out, you named a new ftp-profile as sftp. (Sometimes it takes me a bit longer ..., sorry.) It´s very unlikely to get SFTP to work through a ftp-based profile. Please just turn it off and the virtual server should work as expected. Things will become complicated, if you try to combine both ftp and sftp on the same virtual server. That´s why I recommended to have separated virtual servers.
