SFTP Connection Refused

I am trying to configure SFTP. From within an SSH connection to Firewalla Gold, I can connect using the configured user I set up. 

I have not been able to connect in the same fashion from my Win11 box, though. 

I type in SFTP 10.10.0.1 and get a "connection refused" error message. I tried performing a ufw allow on 21 and 22 to see if that would open things up, but no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks. That gets me a little closer (it worked). 

  My goal is to use this FTP server as a repository for my security camera footage. The cameras haven't been able to connect to 10.10.0.1 successfully yet.

  When I test with port 21, it fails quickly. When I test with port 22, it takes more than a minute to fail. I have attempted with "passive mode" turned on and off with no success either.

  I don't have a choice in what FTP program to use on the camera... I can only use the one that is built-in.

  Prior to this, I used a Ubuntu-based laptop and set up SFTP on that box. The cameras were able to use this. Now, I'm using SFTP which seems to be a part of SSH (I think that's the correct way to describe it since I never had to install any software to get this to work).
