The known_hosts file should use the OpenSSH file format as supported by libssh2. If this file is specified, libcurl will only accept connections with hosts that are known and present in that file, with a matching public key. Use \fICURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION(3)\fP to alter the default behavior on host and key (mis)matching. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. .SH DEFAULT NULL .SH PROTOCOLS SFTP and SCP .SH EXAMPLE .nf CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, "/home/clarkkent/.ssh/known_hosts"); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Added in 7.19.6 .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES "(3), " CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 "(3), "
