There are some ftp clients that automatically add entries to $user_home/.ssh/known_hosts, but none of my clients on Windows do that. If you set strict host key checking to 'false', then JSCH, the library that provides VFS with SFTP functionality, will write the host key to known hosts. After that, you won't need to set that flag because it will just read the host key from known_hosts.
