Hello Greg,

However, if the user calling the program has sufficient authority, the SFTP as the other user works flawlessly.

Okay.

Why have the -i and -oUserKnownHostsFile options if this is a security issue?

It's only a possible security issue for -i. And since you can name your private key file any way you like, there should be a way you can point client applications to it when they're not named id_crypto-something.

:wq! PoC
