I am completely new to Amazon EC2 and Filezilla. When I try to connect to the server, I am getting an error message: "Error: Network error: Connection refused"

The problem is that I can't get a complete tutorial on how to use Filezilla with Amazon EC2. I try to follow the steps in this post: Connect to Amazon EC2 file directory using Filezilla and SFTP, but it is still not working.

What I have done so far:

  1. I add the following ports in the Security Group of my instance:

  1. Turn off temporarily Windows firewall on my Remote machine (I am using Windows Server 2016 Datacenter) and on my pc also.

Filezilla:

  1. I imported my key file in Settings > Connection > SFTP, the file has .pem as extension, I renamed it to .ppk before import but it is still not working. I also try to convert it using PuttyGen but it does not work.

Questions:

  1. Are my ports correct in the inbound rules ?
  2. Do I need to run Filezilla server (available in Xampp control panel) on my remote machine ?

Additional Info:
