scp without known_hosts check

  • 772

Is there any chance to skip the known_hosts check without clearing known_hosts or disable it in ssh.conf? I neither have access to known_hosts nor ssh.conf yet. Don't find any suitable in man.

ssh scp known-hosts

    scp is supposed to take the same command line options as ssh, try:

    -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null

    Maybe add -q to disable the warnings as well.

  2. For those of us who are less versed in Linux shorthand, the full syntax would look something like this:

    scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -r $source $user@$host:$destination
