Secure FTP issues

[N3ViT]

Normal FTP works fine, I am just having some issues setting up sFTP.

When originally trying to enable the TLS checkbox option within the FTP service options the FTP service would not start stating some error "this service has failed to restart" when I saved changes. I had noticed that the certificate field was not being automatically filled. After stopping/starting the service a few times the certificate finally generated. Only now sFTP doesn't connect (filezilla nor fireftp can see the server "Connection timed out
") and normal FTP says it wont connect due to it being a sftp connection. Also now that the certificate has been generated every time I try to save an edit to the FTP service options I get the following error:

Code:

Disabling TLS of course makes this all go away and normal FTP works fine, so I don't know what's wrong.

Edit: Ok, it appears in my tired haze I managed to get FTPS and sFTP confused. My bad! I was only really interested in sFTP, but in the sake of knowing what went wrong, can anyone still provide an insight into the above?

Looks like you found a bug. Please create an issue at https://bugs.freenas.org/projects/freenas and post the issue number here.

No need to create a ticket, this has just been fixed.

Luckily just refreshed this page there now before creating one. Is it something I should worry about now and upgrade or can I merrily carry on?

No need to create a ticket, this has just been fixed.

When you say "fixed" do you mean for the next release version or that there is a way to actually fix this n 9.1.1?

EDIT: I ask because I'm getting this problem too and all the bug reports say "fixed" months or years ago, but it certainly doesn't seem fixed in 9.1.1. I'm also getting this:
