Thanks Mario. Got a better trace out of this now.

This *is* a hosts key problem - see error trace below:

Exception in thread "main"
So the questions remains! In the "black box" Ant task implementation,
where is the code looking for the known_hosts file (running on Windows
XP)?
Thanks for any further help, Stuart

Hi !
So the questions remains! In the "black box" Ant task implementation,
where is the code looking for the known_hosts file (running on Windows
XP)?

The code is in VFSs SftpClientFactory class.
It will look for a ssh-dir by:
*) taking the system property vfs.sftp.sshdir
*) searching in ${user.home}/.ssh
*) searching in c:/cygwin/home/${user.name}/.ssh
*) use the current directory

The first existing directory will be used. Its assumed to find a
known_hosts file in this directory.

You can use the SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder to setup another directory
or to disable the host key checking (StrictHostKeyChecking), tough, this
cant be configured through the ant task.

Ciao,
Mario
