Description (last modified by dkocher)

Whenever I connect to a site via SFTP, the "Unknown host key for host" warning pops up, although I choose "Always" every single time. The site is always the same. No subsequent warning or error message appears.

  • I'm on a non-admin account
  • On every attempt, there's an error in the console: (edited for privacy) 
    [0x0-0x1da1da].ch.sudo.cyberduck[11613] 0 [main] ERROR ch.cyberduck.ui.cocoa.CDHostKeyController  - Cannot read /Users/XXX/.ssh/known_hosts
  • known_hosts is rw-r--r--, .ssh is rwx------
  • Command-line sftp doesn't complain about unknown host keys, neither does ssh itself, so known_hosts must be readable

There must be an error reading one of the host keys in your known_hosts file. As a workaround, move away the current known_hosts file and let Cyberduck create a new one. Then you might want to add the keys from the backed up known_hosts file again to find out which one is the cause.
