New Post: sftp behind proxy unable to connect

Hi Guys,

this may sound familiar but I am unable to get it to connect:

Exception:

at Renci.SshNet.Session.ConnectHttp()
at Renci.SshNet.Session.Connect()

and the code is:

var connectionInfoz = new ConnectionInfo(_ftpServer, PORT, _userName,

            ProxyTypes.Http, PROXYHOST, PROXY_PORT, _userName, _password,
            new AuthenticationMethod[] { new PasswordAuthenticationMethod(_userName, _password) })
            {
                Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15)
            };

        using (var sftp = new SftpClient(connectionInfoz))
        {
            sftp.BufferSize = 1024;
            sftp.ConnectionInfo.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3);
            sftp.OperationTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
            try
            {
                sftp.KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
                var connectionInfo = sftp.ConnectionInfo;
                Console.WriteLine(connectionInfo.Timeout);
                sftp.Connect(); // this line throws exception after waiting for 3 minutes

            }

            catch (ProxyException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }

}

I can connect to the site via WinSCP without any problems.
