Two key questions here:
1) Is the remote user account accessible and in sync with the password you're trying to use? We often see these due to passwords having expired, etc. (Authentication's intact but only so long as the account is viable;
2) Are you certain that it's not prompting you for a Passphrase instead of a password? If your public key file was not generated with an empty passphrase session authentication will be forced to prompt you for an input on this..negates your automation somewhat.
Lastly, if your client is using SSH2 (Tectia, for example) and your host server is using SSH (OpenSSH, for example), then you'd need to convert the key formats to fit.

Stating a symbolic link via SFTP
<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');
$filesize = $statinfo['size'];
$group = $statinfo['gid'];
$owner = $statinfo['uid'];
