GiCode

Trust SSH host keys

What the fingerprint prompt means.

The first time you connect to an SSH server, GiCode shows its fingerprint and asks whether to trust it. Compare it with the value published by your host before you accept. GiCode remembers the answer.

If a known server later presents a different fingerprint, GiCode refuses the connection: this can mean the server was reinstalled or someone is intercepting the connection.
