This should be the fingerprint of your WinServer's _host_ key. As far as I can see, you did not create that one. SSH has basically two kinds of keys: 1. host key 2. (optional) user key A host key should never change. The public key part of the host key is stored in known_hosts to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. > Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? ^C <<<=== ABORTED > DUE TO FAILURE HTH, Tino. -- "What we nourish flourishes." - "Was wir nähren erblüht." www.lichtkreis-chemnitz.de www.craniosacralzentrum.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
