The server response does not contain an SSH identification string

Error processing dispatch_567_SO123456.csv: The server response does not contain an SSH identification string.

This error typically occurs when the server fails to provide the expected SSH protocol identification during the connection handshake. It could be due to several reasons:

Server Configuration: The server might not be properly configured to handle SSH connections. Ensure the server is running an SSH service and is accessible.

Network Issues: There might be network interruptions or restrictions preventing the connection.

Client-Side Code: If you're using a library like Renci.SshNet, ensure the code is correctly implemented. For example, verify the port number, IP address, and credentials.

Firewall or Security Settings: Firewalls or security settings might be blocking the connection.
