 * Hello,
 * I am trying to use ssh2 updating to update 3.4.2 to 3.5.1, but it is not working.
 * I have installed the necessary modules, and the ssh2 option appears on the update
   page. I have created the necessary keys, and am able to log in via SSH with the
   exact information i put into the form, however whenever I try to do the update,
   I get the error:
 * ERROR: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings
   are correct.
 * There are no connectivity issues, I even tried to ssh localhost on the machine
   to verify. This error is not descriptive, it doesn’t give me any information 
   that I can use to further troubleshoot the problem. Nothing is logged in the 
   apache or php error logs. I have enabled everything I can think of (and that 
   is noted in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Logging](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Logging))
   to no avail. This is not the first time I have run into an issue like this with
   WordPress where my troubleshooting was hamstrung by less-than-useful error messages.
   There has to be some kind of advanced/detailed error mode I am missing somewhere.
 * I have complete control over the machine, it is running CentOS 6.4. Any help 
   is appreciated.

 * Not to spam it or anything but you might have better luck with this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ssh-sftp-updater-support/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ssh-sftp-updater-support/)
 * At least with that you can get logs that you can post for people (well probably
   just me lol) to look at and provide further assistance.
