Some people may be having trouble logging in via ssh or scp on the new student server.

If you are having this problem it is because the new server's ssh key has changed, and your ssh client see's this as a security risk.

The fix is simple. Remove student.santarosa.edu and ftp.santarosa.edu from your clients authentication keys (or known_hosts)

In Windows using the OpenSSH client you can do this:

Go to Edit -> Settings
Select Server Authentication
Select Host Keys
Highlight the student.santarosa.edu host key
click delete

Repeat but this time select ftp.santarosa.edu. This should remove the key, and allow you to re-connect to the student server.


On UNIX (Linux, OSX) systems, all you need to do is open a shell and then edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts find the entries for student.santarosa.edu and ftp.santarosa.edu and remove them, and then save the file.


This just in from Dave Harden (CIS Instructor)
Fugu Instructions:
Select Fugu -> Preferences

Click on "known hosts"

select student.santarosa.edu from the list of hosts

click delete

click save

(Note, don't skip the last step, I failed to do it before closing the preferences window and the process failed.)

If there is an ftp.santarosa.edu it should be deleted in the same manner (I didn't have one).


(Thanks Dave!)
