#1 JSchException: UnknownHostKey

[Pascal Essiembre]

Hello, your application would be quite useful to me,
but I cannot use it for SFTP. I get the following
exception:

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: UnknownHostKey: [myhost]

I think it's because I don't have myhost host in my SSH
known_host, but where is your software pointing for
that file, and how do I manually add my host to that file?

Thanks.

Hi,

My guess is that the VFS layer reads $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts

I got this error when accesing a public SFTP server from
Win32. It does work from Linux against an internal server
though.

I'll see what can I do.
Regards,
V.

Hi,

You need to add the server host key to your Win32 client %
USERPROFILE%\.ssh\known_hosts file

Create the file on the win32 client and copy the host key
from the server. Here is an example of mine known_hosts

ebony,1.xx.yy.zz ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEA0V0uRyBZ7OOCZcW64EeDEJ1GW

This happens on Win32 only.
