Timed out while waiting for handshake

[mig-25]

I have setup a gulp task with gulp-sftp and have tried two sites to connect to it without success. I have tried both sites with Filezilla and both are connecting.

My task is the following:

var sftp = require('gulp-sftp');        
gulp.task('sftp', function () {
        return gulp.src('dist/**/*')
            .pipe(sftp({
                host: 'waws-prod-sn1-015.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net',
                user: 'fwd16\$fwd16',
                pass: 'xxxxxx',
                remotePath: '/site/wwwroot'
            }));
    });

The respond I am getting is the following:

bash-3.2$ gulp sftp

[22:29:28] Connection :: close

I would prefer to use the auth method, as I prefer not to expose the user and pwd in the gulp file and I add the .ftppass to my .gitignore.

If I add the user and pwd in my .ftppass file and change the task to the following:

gulp.task('sftp', function () {
    return gulp.src('dist/**/*')
        .pipe(sftp({
            host: 'waws-prod-sn1-015.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net',
            authFile:'.ftppass',
            auth: 'keyMain',
            remotePath: '/site/wwwroot'
        }));
}); 

I get the following error:
