Scheduled Imports with an SFTP connection - timeout error

I am attempting to schedule an import, and the data source is an xlsx file in a folder I have placed into an SFTP using the FileZilla server client.

The error I am receiving is: ava.io.IOException: SSH authentication failed, Timed out while waiting for TCP to connect: ( scheduled import job: userdata.xlsx (Uploaded))

Below is a screenshot of how the Data Source is set up. For the Server field, I have input the IP address my local machine is connected to. As for the username, that is also something I set up within the FileZilla server.

Does anybody have any tips or leads I can refer to solve this issue? 

Thank you!

Hi,

Are you using a MID server?
Did it pickup the import command in the ECC Queue?
Are you sure your MID can reach your local machine?

I am using FileZilla with the intention of using it as a midserver.

Yes, I believe the ECC Queue is picking it up.

As for your third question, I am not sure. Do you know of a way I can verify this?

Thank you so much!!

I'm sorry, what do you mean by using FileZilla "as a mid server"?

If you want to upload your data to your instance (hosted on service-now.com?), chances are you don't expose your sftp server directly on the Internet, so the instance itself cannot reach it. You need to install a MID server in your private network, and have it connect to the instance.

Sorry if you know that already.

No, this more than likely explains my issue. I've never worked with setting up MID servers before so I appreciate your help!
