Hi, I'd like to know how to connect properly to sftp where server is not
trusted yet.

If I try to connect to my SFTP server by FileZilla I get a information that
'This server's host key is unknown so far' when I connect there for a first
time. I have to approve that key is correct and then I can login with user
name and password.

I want to do the same with my C++ program. It seems that my connection
always freezes and times out; I guess that it is because my curl code does
not handle the approval of host key.

My code is following:

curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
CURL* curlSession = curl_easy_init();
std::string str = user + std::string(":") + password;
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_USERPWD, str.c_str());
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "libcurl-agent/1.0");
curl_easy_setopt(m_session, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp.server.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_PORT, 22);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,
FileDownloadToStreamCallback);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &packageListData);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES,
CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY | CURLSSH_AUTH_PASSWORD);
curl_easy_setopt(curlSession, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5,
"b01fxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");int res =
curl_easy_perform(curlSession);

I see this in verbose console:

Started* Rebuilt URL to: ftp.server.com/* Trying 111.33.111.11...*
TCP_NODELAY set* Connected to ftp.server.com (111.33.111.11) port 22
(#0)< SSH-2.0-mod_sftp/0.9.9* Operation timed out after 300281
milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received* Closing connection 0

I'd like to make my code work without user's interaction (as I have
username and password) and it should check if the host key is correct.

I'm missing some functions that would return me the server's host key so I
could compare it to my local key; and then approving the server that it is
ok to connect.
  all the best
