SFTP connection without the SSH key

Hi all,

My company is using Power Automate to pick up files from clients SFTP servers. Most of them, don't use the SSH key - just username and password.

In the past, the SFTP connector allowed for connecting to servers with only username and pass but the new one errors every time I try to do that. I always get the 'Bad Gateway' error when I try to create a connection with empty SSH key fields. Why is that? Is it not possible to create connections without the SSH key? I couldn't see that limitation anywhere in the connector documentation. I tried to use the FTP connector with port 22 but that fails as well.

For a while now, I've been just copying older Flows that still use the old SFTP connector and just adding the new connection through the UI in the flow builder. However, now I need an action that will create a file on one of the SFTP server and unfortunately, I don't have an older Flow I could copy with that action...

The connection with error:

Similar problem.

I can connect easily with the basic FTP connector, but SFTP-SSH connector simply hangs/never completes with a 'BadGateway' status. I am only providing user creds/pw and tried assorted syntax on the 'root folder path', to no avail.

My kingdom for a little documentation or exampled for this - has anyone actually successfully used it?

does the FTP connector work for your connections to SFTP? I had issues with that as well... I'm copying old Flows now that still have the old SFTP trigger and adding a new connection from there, that's the only thing that works for me...
