Getting connection error to sftp server via paramiko

I am trying to see if I can access my sftp server from pythonanywhere. I have a code that runs successfully on my local machine but when I deploy it on pythonanyhere I'm getting this error "paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: Unable to connect to biolevusa.sftp.wpengine.com: [Errno 111] Connection refused". Is there anything I am missing?

Free accounts have limited internet access. See https://www.pythonanywhere.com/whitelist/ and it does not allow sftp connections at all.
