Sorry to write again. I did get the host keys when I did a fresh installation of the new version. Somehow I dont get it my old machine though i upgraded the version.

Hi,
I checked in both the registry(I didnt have the key/ even after creating teh key no values) as well as in command /protocol couldnt find any host key. I am using version 4.1.7.
Any suggestions why this is happening?
Thanks in advance
Abir

I'm not sure what your first format is, but check:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\SshHostKeys]

The second format is fingerprint. It can be found on Server and protocol information dialog.
