Problem:
The following error occurs when connecting to an SFTP host for the first time:
Warning: Permanently added '<Hostname>' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Permission Denied (publickey).
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
Permission Denied (publickey).
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
This error is most commonly seen in Linux environments.
Root Cause:
The Host key is not accepted by your system.
Solution:
The new Everbridge host key must be accepted and saved to your known-hosts file. Once you accept the host key, it will be saved to your known_hosts file, and will be used to verify all subsequent connections.
