I've also tried this on more than one local machine and server.

@steelbrain Hello! We have tried that as well. I've successfully connect manually with ssh and the key I tried in the `privateKeyPath` ```js privateKeyPath: '/Users/xxxx/.ssh/id_rsa_special_key' ``` I've also verified that...

OK. So after digging through [this issue](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2/issues/989#issuecomment-1117074996) form [ssh2](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2) I edited `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` on the server and added the following line which made it connect. ```sh PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa ```
