ssh alias not readable?

When calling my ssh aliases from my config using the following command:
`
distant launch remoteName
`
I'm getting the following error returned to me:
```
Failed to connect to server

Caused by:
remoteName needs to be resolvable outside of ssh: failed to lookup address information: Try again
```

I've also tried using the command:
`:DistantLaunch remoteName mode=ssh `
Within neovim but that is less useful and only returns a "Exited unexpectedly: exit code 1"

Any help on how to proceed from here would be fantastic. If you require any further info please let me know and I'll post it here too
Thanks!
