It is also possible that the RSA host key has been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

Add correct host key in //.ssh/known_hosts

replace the 'known_hosts' file in homedirectory to another name and then retry !!

This says it all:
" Offending key is entry 4 in //.ssh/known_hosts
RSA host key for 10.210.7.212 has changed and you have requested strict checking"

The host key for the host you're connecting to has changed -- was the machine rebuilt recently?

If you are certain that no one is intercepting your ssh connection, you can remove the 4th entry in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and then try again. It will ask you if the new key is correct and if you answer yes it will add it to known_hosts and continue along with the scp.

Hi,

You need to delete host's entry from //.ssh/known_hosts. Your server host key has changed, because of that you got this message.

But even after deleted the entry from known_hosts file still I am getting the error message..

For your information.,This error started after I reconfigured the server by using the sys-unconfig command...

Hi,

if the message you get is unchanged after your modification, your changed was not made in the correct file.
