SFTP Connection

Hi All,
 
I'm trying to set up a flow in Power Automate to access an SFTP site and move some files into a sharepoint location.
 
I have set up the connection 'successfully' as shown below, but when I try and use the connection in a flow-step, it gives me the error:
There was a problem using the 'shared-sftpwithssh-da1f6085-166b-4c78-9b50-733a08960bee' connection to access 'TGSS SFTP'. Try again, and if the problem persists, trychecking to see if the current connection should be fixed, switching to a different connection, or creating a new connection.
 
When I follow that link, it takes me to this page:
 
Which shows that the connection is valid.

I have tried using other tools such as FileZilla to connect to this SFTP and been successful with the same key.

Any ideas would be appreciated to resolve.
 
Thanks in advance!

    Hi 
     
    I tested this and it was working for me. Initially I had some issues. I did set like this.
     
     
    I originally provided the connection name, host server address, username, and password. Then I began experiencing connection errors. I recreated the connection using the same details and set the port number to the default value of 22 and checked the Disable SSH host key validation. After that, everything worked as expected.

    Additionally be aware that this connector has a lot (A LOT) of issues recently, producing service alerts nearly on a daily basis.
