sftp: doesn't work without hostkeys in known_hosts
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I don't know how to properly correct this one, but sftp-links don't work if the hostkey of the linked machine is not in .ssh/known_hosts (for OpenSSH). Maybe a dialog to put it there?
See the thread starting at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-vfs-list/2004-March/msg00002.html In GNOME 2.8, the sftp method will probably either accept the new key without saying anything or pop up a dialog.
