SSH connection problem with "Host key verification failed..." error« Back to Questions List
I can not connect to my PC via SSH and I got this error: Host key verification failed… |

Host key verification failed” means that the host key of the remote host was changed. SSH stores the host keys of the remote hosts in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. You can either edit that text file manually and remove the old key (you can see the line number in the error message), or use
ssh-keygen -R hostname |
