Server Information

The Server information box shows information about SSH server and the protocol options in use.

Server Hostkey Fingerprint

The box shows fingerprint of hostkey used for current SSH server. This is the key you have verified before (usually on the first attempt to connect to the server).

Protocol Capabilities/Information

The list shows what the transfer protocol currently in use is capable of. Note that these are general information based on protocol and its version. The particular implementation (the actual server) can still lack some of the features.

The box at the bottom shows additional (non-structured) information about the server/protocol. For SCP protocol it is output of command uname -a. For SFTP protocol it is list of the extensions the server supports (both generic and proprietary).
