CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5(3)                    Library Functions Manual


NAME

       CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 - MD5 checksum of SSH server public key


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5,
                                 char *md5);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char pointer pointing to a string containing 32 hexadecimal
       digits. The string should be the 128 bit MD5 checksum of the remote
       host's public key, and libcurl aborts the connection to the host unless
       the MD5 checksum match.

       MD5 is a weak algorithm. We strongly recommend using
       CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256(3) instead.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

       Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
       previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.


DEFAULT

       NULL


PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects scp and sftp


EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5,
                            "afe17cd62a0f3b61f1ab9cb22ba269a7");
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }


AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.17.1
