galen,

When I log in to nearlyfreespeech.net (NFS) using sftp that's the port
number I use and I'm able to transfer new and modified files to my web site.

NFS has two names: a user name (they call it a short name) for ssh and a
login name for the web site and, apparently, sftp.

I apologize for confusing you; NFS is much shorter than nearl free speech so
I used the abreviation.

Regardless, using the proper user/short name I logged in ran tls-setup.sh
and a couple of minutes later replaced the FreeSSL certs with the Let's
Encrypt certs and automatic renewal.

So much to learn, so little time. But I keep learning because it's so
satisfying.

Regards,
