CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256 - Man Page

SHA256 hash of SSH server public key

Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256,
                          char *sha256);

Pass a char pointer pointing to a string containing a Base64-encoded SHA256 hash of the remote host's public key. The transfer fails if the given hash does not match the hash the remote host provides.

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_SHA256,
                     "NDVkMTQxMGQ1ODdmMjQ3MjczYjAyOTY5MmRkMjVmNDQ=");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
