I am trying to get my ADF instance to connect to my SFTP Server that is hosted on an Azure VM but when testing the connection it always Times Out. The ADF and VM hosting the SFTP are on different VNets and this is because I personally don't have permissions that allow me to interact with the sub and resource group that the VM is on. However, I have set up a NSG that has specific outbound rules that allow it to communicate with the IP address of the SFTP Server. Is my issue some sort of a configuration error I made in setting up my ADF? Is it a Integration Runtime problem and/or a managed private endpoint issue? I would love some help with this issue. Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
Which type of Integration runtime are you using in SFTP Linked Service? You may have to use SHIR in your linked service and the SHIR VM should be able to communicate to the SFTP server.
I am using AutoResolveIntegrationRuntime (Managed Virtual Network). I will go into my linked service for my SFTP server connection and look at adding a new/different IR (Self-Hosted) and see if that works. The SFTP Server is hosted on an Azure VM - so that falls under Self-Hosted for the IR? Thanks a lot for you help on this issue Aravind!
You can setup SHIR on windows Azure VM in same VNET and you can refer this - How to setup Self Hosted IR -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime?tabs=data-factory
SFTP Linked Service - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-sftp?tabs=data-factory
When setting up the SHIR (and installing it on the correct VM) things go well up to the point where it wants to register the IR and use the key generated in the azure portal. It says that the keep is invalid or empty. Which is not the case because the key is being automatically populated via the express install setup and even when I do that manual setup I get the same error where it says the key is invalid or missing.... any thoughts on how to fix this or what the issue may be?
