#5997 Cannot ssh and scp to fedorapeople.org
Closed: Invalid Opened by cqi.

Closed: Invalid
Reopen Issue

Today I cannot ssh and scp to my fedorapeople.org space. Before that, in the same day, I actually succeeded to ssh once. Could you help?

I got Permission Denied.

I also got REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED. I'm not sure if this is relative. Steps I did

1. remove content from ~/.ssh/kown_hosts.

2. scp demo-rebuild-docker-image.ogv cqi@fedoraproject.org:~/public_html/f2

You are trying to ssh and scp into fedoraproject.org, not fedorapeople.org.
SSH'ing to fedoraproject.org does indeed not work.

Metadata Update from @puiterwijk:
- Issue close_status updated to: Invalid
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

(the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" is because fedoraproject.org is a round-robin DNS record, meaning you get a new server out of the pool every time. Each of them has its own keys.)
