Install Mods on Dedicated Server (VPS)

I’m running a Satisfactory dedicated server on a VPS. Server works fine, SFTP works (can connect with FileZilla), ports and firewall are set. But when I try to add the server in Satisfactory Mod Manager (SMM) I get this error: failed to add installation: failed to validate installation: failed to connect to ssh server: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain Mods I want to install are: InfiniteNudge 2.3.7 InfiniteZoop 1.9.5
