SFTP connection keeps changing to 'invalid connection'

Hi

 

I am currently exploring the SFTP connector in Power Automate.

I can use this just fine, connection works and I get successful returns.

 

However, when I leave the page and I come back to edit the flow, it suddenly says 'Connection Invalid' and I need to update the credentials again. After that it works again.

 

In the 'Connections' pane, it still says that it is successfully connected, but in the flow it fails.

Any experiences on this anybody? I have been trying several times now..

 

I cannot run my flow again until I press 'Update Connection', fill in my credentials again and than it works for a couple of times and afterwards same error.

 

Kind regards

    Hi ,

    have you resolved this matter? if so how?  This seems to be a bug in the connector itself expecting an SSH authentication though I am not using SSH to authenticate.   (Using username/password authentication).  Is there an SFTP connector just for username and password to bypass the error for SSH?  ( i have yet to find one)

    When looking in the network logs, I seem to get the following error
