Dropbear And Keys Info (no Password Login) Options

[dino]

One of the first things I did with my new 3.5.2 install was to attemt getting my daily scripts to work. I can ssh with no password prompt, but I still can't automate scp.
I thought the following post by Marcin Juszkiewic might be helpful for others.

On Zaurus I used "dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa" to generate key. Then
"dropbearkey -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa" and copied publickey to desktop
~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Desktop id_rsa.pub is added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on Zaurus.

This allow me to login from desktop to Zaurus via simple "ssh user at zaurus" and
from Zaurus to desktop via "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa user at desktop".

But there is a problem with SCP. I can "scp file user at zaurus:" from desktop
and it works ok. But from Zaurus to desktop it doesn't work - always ask for
password:

Buglet in dropbear. You need to ssh into the remote host once. After that, dropbear knows the hostkey and you can use scp.

Thanks for the advice. I've already tried ssh into the server and accepted the server as a known host. Ssh works great with no password prompt. scp gives me the following:
