Why can't I transfer a folder from shared hosting to a VDS server?

Question

Debian

Hello! I'm trying to copy a folder from shared hosting to VDS with the following command

tar cf - old | ssh -l username ***.***.***.***  "cd /var/www/dir/; tar xvpf -

But bash error appears: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ru_RU.UTF-8) and then
Host key verification failed.

What could be the reason?
UPD: The first problem was solved by generating the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale

Answer 1

ssh -vvv [email protected]
will show detailed information about the progress of the connection
It may be more convenient to use scp for copying
