Hello David, When I work with camel-sftp, The first thing I do is to manually connect to the remote machine via ssh, so that my knownHosts (System.getProperty(user.home)/.ssh/known_hosts) file is written. On windows, I use cygwin for that. I assume you can do the same with putty.
You specify the certificate file as an option, as described in the documentation: http://camel.apache.org/ftp2.html knownHostFile: path to your known_hosts privateKeyFile: path to your id_rsa privateKeyFilePassphrase: passphrase of you id_rsa Hope it gives you an idea about where to look at. Good luck. On 03.03.2017 17:32, David Hoffer wrote: How does Camel handle the SSH cert when connecting to SFTP servers? Somehow it has to accept the cert provided by the server how does it do that? The docs say the default is: strictHostKeyChecking=no What does this mean? Does this mean it will accept every cert? What does strictHostKeyChecking=yes mean? Where does Camel store the cert that it accepted? Can we preempt this hole process by manually accepting the cert with a different tool, eg. puttyftp? In this case there would have to be a shared location for the cert...we are running camel on Windows so I think puttyftp stores the cert in the registry. Where does Camel/JSCH look for certs? -Dave
