Yes I was able to ssh into the Windows box without problem. The OpenSSH package installed together with Cygwin was version 6.1 according to the installation screen.

Thanks,

It's not SSL in this case but SSH, and -k disables the host fingerprint checking when using ssh. It sounds like for some reason curl can't interpret your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file correctly, or the host key actually has changed. Can you ssh into the box using OpenSSH without issue? What version of OpenSSH are you using?

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...
Connected to 10.10.16.96 (10.10.16.96) port 22 (#0)
SSH MD5 fingerprint: 28c9ed920380957018d758608272e6dd
SSH host check: 2, key:
Closing connection 0
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.
