Hi,

To clarify my description of the problem, I tried to use "curl" to download a file from Windows to Linux.
Since it did not work, I tried the Linux utility "scp" to download the file from Windows to Linux to verify that the Windows host is available for file transfer via scp, and it worked.
Looking at the error message from "curl", it was related to the SSH/SSL key. That was unexpected since "scp" did not have any problem using the key for the Windows host in known_hosts file on the Linux system. Should "curl" use the same key generated for the Windows host in the known_hosts file?
>From the "curl" verbose output, I did not see any indication that "curl" did not find the known_hosts file.

Thanks,
M. Nguyen

Are you saying that the same known_hosts file works on Linux but not on Windows? Did curl find the known_hosts file in the windows case?

Curl version: 7.35.0

I set up the SSHd service (using Cygwin) on my Windows XP system 10.10.16.96.

  1. When I used "scp" to download a file from the Windows box, I did not have any problem:

$ scp mnguyen_at_10.10.16.96:/home/mnguyen/test<mailto:mnguyen_at_10.10.16.96:/home/mnguyen/test> /tmp
mnguyen_at_10.10.16.96's<mailto:mnguyen_at_10.10.16.96's> password:
test 100% 16 0.0KB/s 00:00

  1. However, when I used "curl" to download the same file, I got errors:

$ ./curl -v -u mnguyen scp://10.10.16.96/home/mnguyen/test
Enter host password for user 'mnguyen':
Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
Trying 10.10.16.96...

SSH host check: 2, key:

curl: (51) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

Should "curl" use the same key defined in .ssh/known_hosts (as "scp" used)?

Note that I don't have any problem using "curl" to download a file from a Linux system.
