NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS - file name holding the SSH known hosts
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, char *fname);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string holding the file name of the
known_host file to use. 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 CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION(3)
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.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
SFTP and SCP
EXAMPLE
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);
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.19.6
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.
