I am running docker containers on Google Cloud virtual machine. I am trying for hours to connect from filezilla on my local computer to an running docker container. I have started docker image like this:
docker run -t -d --name test -p 2222:22 --link postgres7:postgres7 random_image /bin/bash
In my filezilla connection configuration I have set:
Host: Google Cloud IP address
Port: 2222
Protocol: SFTP
Logon Type: Normal
User: root (without password)
When trying to connect I get this error:
Status: Connecting to x.x.x.x:2222...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "[email protected]" 2222
Error: Connection refused
Error: Could not connect to server
I have opened ports on google cloud engine.

The SFTP server can be easily deployed to any platform that can host containers based on Docker. Below are deployment methods for: Docker CLI. Docker-Compose.
You can run both Linux and Windows programs and executables in Docker containers. The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64). Docker Inc. builds products that let you build and run containers on Linux, Windows and macOS.
docker run --network="host" Alternatively you can run a docker container with network settings set to host . Such a container will share the network stack with the docker host and from the container point of view, localhost (or 127.0.0.1 ) will refer to the docker host.
First, it is not recommended to install ssh server on docker containers but here is how I did it:
apt-get install openssh-server
passwd (enter password twice)
PermitRootLogin without-password
to
PermitRootLogin yes
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
And now you will be able to connect with any ftp client as root to your docker container with password that you set.
