Is there anyway to connect the sftp with both private key and ftp password by using phpseclib or any other method.

It's kinda rare that SFTP servers use both password and publickey authentication. My guess would be that what you most likely have is a password protected private key. If so you can login thusly:

<?php
include('Net/SFTP.php');
include('Crypt/RSA.php');

$sftp = new Net_SFTP('www.domain.tld');
$key = new Crypt_RSA();
$key->setPassword('whatever');
$key->loadKey(file_get_contents('privatekey'));
if (!$sftp->login('username', $key)) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

print_r($sftp->nlist());
?>

If indeed your server truly is doing both the following should work:

<?php
include('Net/SFTP.php');
include('Crypt/RSA.php');

$sftp = new Net_SFTP('www.domain.tld');
$key = new Crypt_RSA();
$key->setPassword('whatever');
$key->loadKey(file_get_contents('privatekey'));
if (!$sftp->login('username', $key) && !$sftp->login('username', 'password')) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

print_r($sftp->nlist());
?>
