with nodejs > 19.9, plugin doesn't work

[jcvignoli]

I was expecting that Gulp 5 would address the fact that gulp-ssh is not compatible with nodejs > 19.9, but unfortunately it doesn't. I have quite a slow network (in particular a slow ping) which might be the reason why the ssh handshake fails as soon as I install, for example, the latest nodejs (v21, but the same happens with v20).
I have a gulp workflow that copy my files from /src to /dist and then upload on a webserver my files. But with nodejs > 19.9 I get this error:

  at new PluginError (/node_modules/plugin-error/index.js:64:11)
   at Client.<anonymous> (/node_modules/gulp-ssh/index.js:57:27)
   at Client.emit (node:events:519:28)

   at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:128:3)
   at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)

which is actually this error when I throw it into the console:

      port: 22
    },

      port: 22
    }
  ]
}

This happens very often, but it's not systematic. I believe that 90% of the uploads fail. I tried to patch my gulp-ssh index.js file with the latest pull, with no luck.

Any idea?
