RE: Setting Up sFTP for a Second Vendor - Host key verification failedError

Add the -v flag. Also make sure that you have SSH'd in first and
accepted their key. Go in to /home/USER2 and do a ls -la to see the
permissions on the .ssh directory. Go into the .ssh directory and do a
ls -la to see the permissions on the files in there. SSH (which sftp
runs on top of) is very picky about all of those things.

Subject: Setting Up sFTP for a Second Vendor - Host key verification
failedError

A couple of months ago I set up sFTP so I could send some extracted

data

from our ERP system to a vendor.
I set up userid USER1 and made the home directory: /home/USER1.
I created my ssh private and public keys and put them in /home/USER1

in a

hidden directory called .ssh.
I exchanged public keys with the vendor and put his public key in
/home/USER1/.ssh.
I got it to work and we send them data every night using sFTP.

Now I want to set up sFTP for another vendor.
I set up userid USER2 and made its home directory /home/USER2.
I assume I can use the same ssh private and public keys for this

vendor.

(Maybe this is a bad assumption and I need to generate another set of
keys?) So I copied the .ssh directory from /home/USER1 to /home/USER2
and deleted USER1's public key.
The .ssh directory for USER2 has in it: id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, and

known_hosts.

So now I am trying to connect to the vendor's FTP server for the first

time.

On my IBMi I logged in under USER2.
I called QP2TERM and executed command: sftp User2FTPServer.com.
I am getting the following error: Host key verification failed.

Connection

closed

What I am doing wrong?

Your help is appreciated,
Jay
