SFTP Upload Laravel 5 - php

Question

I’m trying to upload files to my staging server running Linux Ubuntu.
I tried follow everything in this post = https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.1/ssh . I am on Laravel 5.1.
I configured my remote.php like this :
'connections' => [
'production' => [
'host' => '45.55.88.88',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'key' => '/Users/bheng/.ssh/id_rsa', //Try : public | private
'keytext' => '',
'keyphrase' => '******',
'agent' => '', //Try : empty | enabled | disabled,
'timeout' => 10,
],
],
I tried test it like this in my project :
SSH::run('date', function($line) {dd($line); });
I kept getting :
Unable to connect to remote server.
I tried it on my Mac OS Terminal
sftp root#45.55.88.88
It’s working fine, I got
sftp> ls
Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos dead.letter
What did I do wrong or forget ? What elses should I try ?
Do I need to do anything on my /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?
Can someone please help me out if you’re done this before ?

Answer 1

Try setting the connection in case it's not using the correct settings, and see if that helps:
SSH::into('production')->run('date', function($line) {dd($line); });
The only other things I would recommend are:
Verify that your key is accessible from your code
Correct passphrase is being used
Double-check any other connection settings
