Re: Host Key error...

2021-03-02

The log file you have posted contains two sessions.
1) GUI session. I'm not sure why you posted that.
2) Scripting session that successfully passed both the host key verification and the authentication. So I believe both your problems are resolved.

You now have a problem with a syntax of your synchronize command, as you are missing quotes. The command should be:

synchronize local "C:\Users\jshridha\OneDrive - ***************\Desktop\New folder" /Clients/BDM_****

Hey,

I have tried both the above mentioned syntax but not able to get the result.
Please find the log files and help to resolve the error.

Re: Please help: Synchronization automation, Host Key error.

Your first two examples are both correct (though the first one is better).
If they do not work for you, post log file for them.

Hello,

Thanks Martin for a solution but now log shows host key doesn't match.
I have chosen the option as attached screenshot to get the script.

open sftp://*******:*************@********* / -hostkey="ssh-dss 1024 oSrasoJwdsRkbYnVIdJWf0pYqNPVOKqiW70AgGZ5fzI="

By using this code, I got the error that host key doesn't match.
I have used below still got the same error.

open sftp://*******:***********@********* -hostkey="ssh-dss 1024 80:91:71:eb:7a:74:bd:7c:60:8b:d0:7b:fe:e1:98:f2"

I have used that one also, got the same error.

open sftp://*******:*************@********* -hostkey="ssh-dss 1024 oSrasoJwdsRkbYnVIdJWf0pYqNPVOKqiW70AgGZ5fzI=ssh-dss 1024 80:91:71:eb:7a:74:bd:7c:60:8b:d0:7b:fe:e1:98:f2"

The key Fingerprints I got while login is... as attached snap also.

ssh-dss 1024 oSrasoJwdsRkbYnVIdJWf0pYqNPVOKqiW70AgGZ5fzI=

ssh-dss 1024 80:91:71:eb:7a:74:bd:7c:60:8b:d0:7b:fe:e1:98:f2

The log for the one of host key type is attached.

Re: Automatic Synchronization to a local Directory from Remote Server

Your script does not even log in. The log file says "Password authentication failed". It seems that your credentials are wrong. Do you have any special characters in the password? You may need to URL-encode them: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/session_url#special

Or have WinSCP GUI generate a working script template for you:
