Comment (by dd32):

 > Hey @dd32, the session seems to be opened correctly. auth.log ist
 stating the following:

 The SSH Connection succeeds yes, but the PHP SSH Extension can't properly
 open a sFTP Session OVER that SSH connection. That is most likely a bug in
 the ssh2 extension.

 I don't have a list of ssh2 extension packages that work, every
 distribution compiles them individually, and they're custom compiled by
 pecl when I install them normally.

 > @dd32 Even though the support plugin currently breaks the customizer,
 phpseclib seems to be much more reliable then ssh2-php. Maybe phpseclib
 could be used by wordpress as a second option to provide ssh2?
 FYI @terrafrost sounds like https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssh-sftp-
 updater-support/ needs to be updated.

 And yes, phpseclib is far improved over the PHP ssh extension, IMHO I'd
 like to drop SSH2 support in core completely in favour of the plugin.
