I'll make that change. Thanks Jake

I'm not sure about what cygwin does? However, JSCH can do that by setting strict host checking to "no". The following code will add the host + the host key to your known_hosts for you (assuming you've created it already.. it won't be created for you). I hope this will be useful to users running into this problem in the future. Of course, if Chainsaw did this, no one would have to deal with the known_hosts file at all, because with strict host key checking off known_hosts doesn't even have to exist and everything will still work (there might be security risks associated with doing this, but it would make Chainsaw user lives easier). You'll need the following jars (current versions) in the classpath to run the file below (only need commons-vfs to compile).... commons-logging.jar commons-net.jar commons-vfs.jar jakarta-oro.jar jsch.jar import org.apache.commons.vfs.*; import org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.sftp.*; public class GenerateKnownHostsInfo { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager(); FileSystemOptions opts = new FileSystemOptions(); SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setStrictHostKeyChecking(opts, "no"); FileObject pkg = fsManager.resolveFile("sftp://myusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/f ile/file.txt", opts); } } Jake Quoting Scott Deboy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Two things: > > 1.
