All, I did all of that and it is for some reason still not working. (I'm sure that it is something small that I am not noticing...) When I do the scp, here is the command I am issuing: /usr/bin/scp -i /home/backupuser/.ssh/id_dsa backup@host.domain.com:/home/backup/file.tgz Is there a scp switch that I need to use to force dsa??

All, I had this working perfectly way back when I was using Data Fellow's SSH. Now, I have switched everything over to OpenSSH using SSH2 and am getting the following error when I try to scp. What am I missing? The authenticity of host 'xxxx' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 99:06:bd:3f:e7:ba:11:fc:a8:c5:9f:a3:d8:6d:12:AB. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Aborted by user! verify_host_key failed Also I am trying to use DSA, not RSA. How do I change that? Thanks :-) ============================================ Drew J.
