Description Michael G. Hansen 2012-11-25 12:58:53 UTC 
I entered sftp://name-of-host/ into the location bar. Then I got an error message right under the location bar: "Connection to host The host key for this server was not found, but another type of key exists.
An attacker might change the default server key to confuse your client into thinking the key does not exist.
Please contact your system administrator.
 is broken." (see screenshot).

Obviously the sentence "Connection to host is broken" and the real error message seem to be mixed.
Connection to the host works via fish, scp on the command line and ssh on the command line.



Reproducible: Always

You forgot the screenshot :)
Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2012-11-25 17:03:33 UTC 
It looks like the text comes from "QString KIO::buildErrorString(int errorCode, const QString &errorText)", in kio/kio/global.cpp in kdelibs. But I'm not sure if that function is wrong or if it's being used incorrectly by KIO/sftp.
