| - | * To securely acquire a fingerprint of the host key, use web-based SSH client in Google Cloud Platform (use //%%SSH%%// link on the //VM Instances// page). You will see the MD5 fingerprint of RSA host key as soon as you connect, though WinSCP will by default opt to use better host key algorithms, like Ed25519. To see a fingerprints for different algorithms or for other host key algorithms, use ''[[https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen|ssh-keygen]]'' command: \\ <code>sudo ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key | + | * To securely acquire a fingerprint of the host key, use web-based SSH client in Google Cloud Platform (use //%%SSH%%// link on the //VM Instances// page). In the console, use ''[[https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen|ssh-keygen]]'' command to display a fingerprint of any number of host keys algorithms. The following examples shows SHA-256 and MD5 fingerprints of Ed25519 hostkey: \\ <code>sudo ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key |
