An ignore message (''SSH_MSG_IGNORE'') is a message in the SSH protocol which can be sent from the client to the server, or from the server to the client, at any time. Either side is required to ignore the message whenever it receives it. WinSCP uses ignore messages in SSH-2 to confuse the encrypted data stream and make it harder to cryptanalyze. It also uses ignore messages for [[ui_login_connection#keepalives|connection keepalives]].
