Running an SFTP Server on both Internet and LAN
I'm now encountering an issue related to LAN and the Internet configurations.
First of all, my SFTP server is a virtual server, whose IP address is 192.168.132.128, running on Windows 10 through VMWare Workstation Pro. Its Ethernet card is virtual one and is NAT mode.
Secondly, my PC has a static IP address, for instance, 1.2.3.4, which allows me to connect it outside my house.
Thirdly, my PC also has a wi-fi adapter, and its IP is 192.168.0.186 obtained by wi-fi AP though DHCP.
So, I briefly describe my network and ideas, which are two parts.
PART 1, Establishing an SFTP connection from the Internet
Internet ---- 1.2.3.4 port 47777(PC) ----> Port forwarding to 192.168.132.128 port 22(SFTP server)----> Establish SFTP connection.
This part is done.
PART 2, Establishing an SFTP connection from the LAN
What I want to achieve is since My PC is included in the LAN through Wi-fi, I think it is possible that I can establish an SFTP connection through wi-fi, which means establishing the connection from other clients connecting to the same wi-fi. The reason behind this thought results from the fact that the transmit bandwidth is much larger through LAN than the Internet.
Other clients in the LAN ---- 192.168.0.186 port 47777 ----> "Do the trick" ----> forwarding to 192.168.132.128 port 22(SFTP server)----> Establish SFTP connection
"Do the trick" is my problem.
Update:
I think the primary problem currently is I cannot even ping my PC at 192.168.0.186 from other clients in the same LAN.

Ensure that the whole LAN is using IPs of192.168.132.Xand sftp to192.168.132.128:22.

The address of 192.168.132.128 is in a different LAN segment than 192.168.0.X, so you have problems crossing segments. Put all the computers on one segment so they can communicate freely.

I get your point, but I think it wouldn’t work since those dynamic IPs are under two different NAT networks, or there is something I misunderstand. Any ideas?

You might add to the post the schema of your network, because as it is I fail to see where are the two NAT networks.
