   |1. With regards to "StrictHostKeyChecking" are there any scenarios where it
   |might be better to set it to "no" rather than "yes"?

   |2. My Java program that would use JSCH would SFTP files to our Internal SFTP
   |server. Is this file transfer also vulnerable to 'man in the middle' attack?
   |ie: In this case should I check for "StrictHostKeyChecking" or would it be
   |an overkill?

It depends on your environment and the security policy.
We must not suggest to set it to "no" for our customers,
but if you don't have to care for DNS spoofing, IP spoofing, etc.,
you may want to do so.


Sincerely,
