Re: Perl SCP ERROR(Asking to Continue?)

The public key of the remote server has not yet been saved on the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.

Just ssh to the remote machine as user $username manually once, replying "yes" at the "Are you sure...?" prompt.

I opened the ~/.ssh/known_hosts it does not have anything in it but for me it is still working the same way. Secondly, is there any other way to add as I dont want to give the password to everyone for running the script?	[reply]

The easiest way is to, in some way, get `ssh` called with the `StrictHostKeyChecking` option set to `no` (see ssh_config(5)). Though using that option can have a negative impact on the security of the SSH protocol. I usually disregard its usage unless its implications are really understood.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
