Re: Hoping for a working example of SFTP in PHP

Also according to man page for ssh2_auth_pubkey_file ( https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-auth-pubkey-file) the public key should be in OpenSSH format. This means that you should use the public key that starts with ssh-rsa (that's the OpenSSH format). From what I understand from you've tried both, so I don't really know what else to say and I am also working on Ubuntu, so I am unable to try to replicate your issue. Sorry and good luck!
