How can I force ssh to accept a new host fingerprint from the command line?

Question

I\'m getting the standard

WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropp

You just have to update the current fingerprint that's being sent from server. Just Type in the following and you'll be good to go :)

ssh-keygen -f "/home/your_user_name/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "server_ip"
