Currently, this can be ''ssh-rsa'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ''ssh-dss'' (a DSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ecdsa-sha2-*'' (an ECDSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ssh-ed25519'' (an Ed25519 key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ssh-ed448'' (an Ed448 key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), or ''ssh1'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-1 protocol, not supported by WinSCP). | + | * The type of the key.

| * The fingerprint for the public key. This should be the same fingerprint given by [[ui_puttygen|PuTTYgen]], and also the same fingerprint shown by remote utilities such as ''ssh-keygen'' when applied to your ''authorized_keys'' file. \\ By default this is shown in the SHA-256 format. You can change to the older MD5 format (which looks like ''aa:bb:cc:...'') with the //Fingerprint type// drop-down, but bear in mind that this format is less secure and should be avoided for comparison purposes where possible. | * The fingerprint for the public key.

Pageant's protocol is compatible with the OpenSSH server, but the ssh.com server uses a different agent protocol, which WinSCP does not yet support. | + | Note that at present, whether agent forwarding in SSH is available depends on your server.

| To enable agent forwarding, first start Pageant. Then set up a WinSCP SSH session in which //[[ui_login_authentication|Allow agent forwarding]]// is enabled. Open the session as normal. | To enable agent forwarding, first start Pageant. Then set up a WinSCP SSH session in which //[[ui_login_authentication|Allow agent forwarding]]// is enabled.
