| + | | string ==SshHostKeyFingerprint== | Fingerprint of SSH server [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|host key]] (or several alternative fingerprints separated by semicolon). It makes WinSCP automatically [[scripting#hostkey|accept host key]] with the fingerprint. Use SHA-256 fingerprint of the host key. Mandatory for SFTP/SCP protocol.((You can leave the property ''null'', if you set [[#sshhostkeypolicy|''SshHostKeyPolicy'']] to a different value than ''SshHostKeyPolicy.Check''.)) //Learn how to [[faq_hostkey|obtain host key fingerprint]]//. | | ||

Use the default ''SshHostKeyPolicy.Check'' to [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|verify the host key]] against [[#sshhostkeyfingerprint|''SshHostKeyFingerprint'']]. Use ''SshHostKeyPolicy.GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAny'' to give up a security and accept any SSH host key. To be used in exceptional situations only, when security is not required.
