Error making connection with Sftp server using NMSSH library swift IOS app. NMSSH: Failure establishing SSH session

I am using NMSSH library in my ios app to open a connection with the server and download a json file and save it to local directory.

I have tried two different sFTP servers to open connection. One is my own server and other one I found a dummy server on internet. Now the issue is I am able to sucessfully open a connection and download the file from Dummy server found on internet.(screenshot attached.)

When I try to open connection with my own server I get the following error :

    Connection failed.

The code snippet to open a conneciton with server is mentioned below :

func readSFTPFile() {
   

    let session = NMSSHSession(host: host, port: port, andUsername: user)
    session.connect()

    if session.isConnected {
        
        session.authenticate(byPassword: password)

        if session.isAuthorized {
            let sftp = NMSFTP.connect(with: session)

            if sftp != nil {
                let remotePath = fileToDownload
                let localPath = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSHomeDirectory()).appendingPathComponent("Downloads/\(fileToDownload)")

                let fileData = sftp.contents(atPath: fileToDownload)
                let StrValue = String(data: fileData!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
                print(StrValue)
                
                sftp.disconnect()
            } else {
                print("Error connecting to SFTP server.")
            }
        } else {
            print("Authentication failed.")
        }
        session.disconnect()
    } else {
        print("Connection failed.")
    }
}

I am very confused, Why the connection with dummy server is working fine and not with my own server. Is there any configuration changes I need to make on server end to allow Iphone to connect with server ?

Some Information about dummy server :

https://test.rebex.net

I ran into this issue when trying to connect to a SFTPGO server. This might be caused by the older libssh2 (1.8.0) used by the NMSSH library, which only supports older key algorithms like ssh-rsa and ssh-dss. Since these algorithms are older, your server might require the use of newer/safer key algorithms (rsa-sha2-512, rsa-sha2-256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 or ssh-ed25519). The testserver may be allowing use of the older algorithms.

1. Try updating libssh2 yourself to 1.9.0 (or newer), it looks like https://github.com/Frugghi/iSSH2 can help with this.
2. Use a fork of NMSSH with libssh 1.9.0 included: https://github.com/speam/NMSSH
3. Allow older keyalgorithms on your server/software (not preferred for security reasons)

Having problems myself with #1, #2 fixed it for me.
