How to setup and connect via FTP?

How to setup and connect via FTP?
Hi all.  I am having problems connecting to my account via a third party FTP application (WinSCP in this case).  Every time I try to do so, it fails.  Here is what I have tried, and the results:
  • When I try to connect on port 22, I encounter and 'Access Denied' error, and it asks for password.  But I am reasonably sure I am using the proper password.
  • When I change port to 8083, 'File protocol' automatically changes to WebDAV.  I'm not sure if this means I should connect over 'WebDAV' or FTP/SFTP.
  • If I connect over FTP through port 8083, it tries to connect, but eventually times out with the error:
Timeout detected. (control connection)
Connection failed.

  • If I connect over SFTP through port 8083, it tries to connect, but fails immediately with the error:
Server unexpectedly closed network connection.

More Info
  • I have already created an FTP user in Sentora.
  • I am using port 8083 because my Sentora tidessamui.com:8083.  But perhaps I am misunderstanding something about the port I need to use.
  • I looked through the post Community Guides & How-To's v1.0.x but couldn't see any FTP setup guide.  I then found a Youtube video (youtube-->watch?v=WNlsR-R1fZo), but my results did not match the results in the video.
I have plenty of experience with cpanel, but this is my first time using Sentora.  I am excited to finally get a chance to use something I've heard a lot about.

Thanks in advance.
