     $this->load->library('SFTP');
     $private_key=APPPATH.'sftp_keys/new_private.ppk';
     $public_key=APPPATH.'sftp_keys/new_public';
     $config=array();
     $config['hostname']='host';
     $config['username']='username';
     $config['port']='22';
     $config['public_key_url']=$public_key;
     $config['private_key_url']=$private_key;
     $config['method']='auth';
     $config['debug']=TRUE;
     $config['login_via_key']=TRUE;
     $this->sftp->initialize($config);
     
     $connect=$this->sftp->connect($config);
     var_dump($connect);
     $this->ftp->close();
    }

var_dump($config)

array(8) { 
  ["hostname"]=> string(13) "" 
  ["username"]=> string(7) "" 
  ["port"]=> string(2) "22" 
  ["public_key_url"]=> string(62) "/home/sgfasaco/public_html/qa/application/sftp_keys/new_public" 
  ["private_key_url"]=> string(71) "/home/sgfasaco/public_html/qa/application/sftp_keys/id_rsa(private).ppk" 
  ["method"]=> string(3) "key" 
  ["debug"]=> bool(true) 
  ["login_via_key"]=> bool(true)
} 

Solution

Yes i got the solution by trying different libraries. I found the best one working perfectly Flysystem Filesystem Abstraction for PHP (PHP library).

https://flysystem.thephpleague.com/v2/docs/

install the library using command.

composer require league/flysystem-sftp:^2.0

use below code to connect with SFTP using Filesystem.

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\PhpseclibV2\SftpConnectionProvider;
use League\Flysystem\PhpseclibV2\SftpAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\UnixVisibility\PortableVisibilityConverter;
use League\Flysystem\DirectoryAttributes;
use League\Flysystem\FileAttributes;
$private_key='sftp_keys/new_private.ppk';

$filesystem = new Filesystem(new SftpAdapter(
    new SftpConnectionProvider(
        'host', // host (required)
        'username', // username (required)
        null, // password (optional, default: null) set to null if privateKey is used
        $private_key, // private key (optional, default: null) can be used instead of password, set to null if password is set
        null, // passphrase (optional, default: null), set to null if privateKey is not used or has no passphrase
        22, // port (optional, default: 22)
        false, // use agent (optional, default: false)
        30, // timeout (optional, default: 10)
        10, // max tries (optional, default: 4)
        null, // host fingerprint (optional, default: null),
        null // connectivity checker (must be an implementation of 'League\Flysystem\PhpseclibV2\ConnectivityChecker' to check if a connection can be established (optional, omit if you don't need some special handling for setting reliable connections)
    ),
    '/', // root path (required)
    PortableVisibilityConverter::fromArray([
        'file' => [
            'public' => 0640,
            'private' => 0604,
        ],
        'dir' => [
            'public' => 0740,
            'private' => 7604,
        ],
    ])
));
$allFiles = $filesystem->listContents('Outbound')->toArray();
$response = $filesystem->write('Outbound/info.txt', 'Hello How are you',array());
if($response){
    echo "Success";
}else echo "Error";
print_r($allFiles );
?>
