sftp not working, but ssh is working

Question

I have a nat rule in my firewall to allow port 22 traffic through pfsense. I am able to SSH into my server but sftp through filezilla is getting timed out and not connecting.

I tried with the local ip of the server and sftp worked fine. The only problem is when it pass through pfsense.

Not sure why sftp is not working behind the NAT. At the same time SSH works without any issue.

It appears that you have forgotten to ask a question. It would also be good to see logs from the server and the client. — user9517, Dec 26 '15 at 12:27
Sounds like an issue in filezilla. Are you definitely connecting using *SFTP* and not FTPS? — Xyon, Dec 26 '15 at 16:07
Try another SFTP client, perhaps [PSFTP](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) (aka PuTTY). — Cristian Ciupitu, Dec 27 '15 at 13:02
