Comment:

 Hi @fblz,

 It sounds like, to me, that the PHP SSH2 extension simply doesn't work on
 your PHP configuration, for whatever reason.
 It doesn't appear to be anything that WordPress itself can fix - The PHP
 Extension simply is failing to create a SFTP session over the connected
 SSH2 connection; even though as the SFTP Update Support plugin proves, the
 server is willing to allow it.

 We should have some error handling for this case, so that it doesn't
 appear like a WordPress failure, [attachment:33478.diff] attempts to add
 that.
