I used below command can connect the server.

```auto
ssh -i ssh-key.key rocky@123.34.43.23

```

but when I use ssh pipline to connect the serve,get this error:

```auto
def remoteConfig = [:]
remoteConfig.name = "my-remote-server"
remoteConfig.host = "${REMOTE_HOST}"
remoteConfig.allowAnyHosts = true

node {
  withCredentials([sshUserPrivateKey(credentialsId: "${REMOTE_CRED}",keyFileVariable: 'privateKeyFilePath',passphraseVariable: '', usernameVariable: 'userName')]) {

    remoteConfig.user = userName
    remoteConfig.identityFile = privateKeyFilePath

    stage("ssh") {
      sshCommand remote: remoteConfig, command: "ls -lrt"
      sshCommand remote: remoteConfig, command: "for i in {1..5}; do echo -n \"Loop \$i \"; date ; sleep 1; done"
 
    }
  }
}

```

```auto
