SSH Reference Manual
After reconnecting the client, a "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION UNKNOWN!" will be 
issued and a new KNOWNHOST entry for the remote host’s new public key is automatically added to the 
SSHCTL. If the SSH2 parameter STRICTHOSTKEYCHECKING is TRUE, then you need to thaw the newly 
added KNOWNHOST entry to establish a connection: 
THAW KNOWNHOST <hostname> 
Couldn’t read packet: <error detail> 
Couldn’t write packet: <error detail> 
<error detail> 
Describes the error condition. 
 Cause: The client failed to receive/send a packet from/to the SSH2/SFTP channel. Typical causes are that the 
remote SSH server has terminated the SSH session of SFTP channel. 
 Effect: The client process terminates. Any ongoing file transfer will be aborted. 
 Recovery: Any corrective action depends on <error detail>.
