scp does use the same ssl mechanism. Delete all of the known_hosts files and try scp and ssh again. The known_hosts file will automatically be recreated the first time the foreign connection is made the next time..
Sorry, didn't work. scp still asks for password three times, then Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). lost connection robert@sputnik:~> whereas ssh works on first attempt (same password)
Generally, when known_hosts has a conflict, you will get an error due to the strict checking option that says something like: Offending key in known_hosts blah, blah, blah... the offending key is :#" At that point you simply edit known hosts and delete line #.
Yes, I've tried editing out the offending entry, but this time I deleted the known_hosts file.
Try this and then will look further.
