SFTP/FTP Remote Access for my new Camera IP2M - 841W

[vknyvz]

I bought this from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0145OQXCK)

Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi Wireless IP Security Camera - 1080P (1920TVL), IP2M-841W (White)

So far it's been good but there's a problem with connecting to SFTP, and this is rather important for me. If this doesn't work I am afraid will have to return.

I have a remote server and would like to connect to it so I can record all day everyday but doesn't seem to work.
No matter what I type it says server connection failure.

I have SFTP setup there running under port 22. I can access it via Terminal but Amcrest setup just keep saying `Server connection failure`.

Does Amcrest have a problem with SFTP? Is this the problem?

[edit]
I enabled ftp with port 21 also, same error. Now my question, we can't connect to remote servers?

My camera details;
Software Version2.520.AC00.18.R, Build Date: 2017-06-29
WEB Version3.2.1.453504
ONVIF Version2.42(V2.2.2.428697)

Error message attached.

You don't appear to have anything entered for the SFTP Server address?

You'll need either the name of your server. Something like ftp.yourserver.com, or a numeric IP address 192.168.1.nnn

Did this issue get resolved? Does the Amcrest HDPro work with sftp? I can't get it to authenticate on my server and it appears its only trying to connect via FTP. ???

This is a problem for me, still. Does anyone know a way around it?

Yup, SFTP doesn't work for me. I ended up using regular FTP using FileZilla as server. It works well so far. But I only use it for sending screenshots (with motion detect) because of internet bandwith (cameras being overseas).
