Cannot connect to SFTP on localhost

OS Name/Version: Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Deimos” v2.7.2.8

Problem Description: Cannot connect via SFTP, even on localhost.
Port shows as not listening, cannot find information on how to turn it on.

If you're sharing console output, logs, or commands you have run, please make sure to use code tags 
(3x backticks for blocks, 1x backtick for a single line) to help make posts readable. This also
provides syntax highlighting.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Installed AMP
  • Created First Instance (Minecraft Java)
  • Started Instance
  • Attempted to connect via SFTP on localhost with WinSCP (first by letting it auto-open WinSCP, then by manually entering the host, port, username and password)
  • Failure “Network Error: Connection to “localhost” refused”

Actions taken to resolve so far:

Checked that port shows as not listening in the web control panel.
Then Used:

Also: checked ADS01, it isn’t working either:
