All connections are managed during the session and closed when the process ends.
For greater security, it is recommended to use key authentication instead of password.

Verify that all dependencies are installed
Make sure the ports and access credentials are correct
Verify that the remote server is accessible from your network
For SFTP/SSH connections, consider using the privateKey parameter instead of password
