Unable to parse private key while generating public

[browerjosiahdev]

I am seeing the below error when I try to connect using the default private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) with a passphrase. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var sftp = require('gulp-sftp');

gulp.task('upload', function () {
    return (
      gulp.src('./www/*')
        .pipe(sftp({
          host: <-- host here -->,
          remotePath: 'www',
          passphrase: <-- passphrase here -->,
          user: 'root'
        }))
    );
});
