Hi,
We are trying to move away from the default SSH host key.
Before we made the change we recorded the Fingerprint of the defaul Host Key "wftp_default_ssh" using "sftp -P 52201 -o FingerprintHash=md5 <hostname>"
The steps we followed are
1. Goto Server>Settings>SSH host key manger>Add SSH Host Key>Entered "Key Name" , entered "SSH host Key Path", Entered a "Password" and Clicked on "Create Host Key File" > Clicked OK. The new SSH Host key appears with a Green Check box beside it.
2. Goto Domains> "My Domain Name">Settings>General Settings>Miscellaneous>SSH Host Key> And select the new created from the "Drop Down"> Clicked OK.
Now we test the new Host Key again, "sftp -P 52201 -o FingerprintHash=md5 <hostname>"
It's the same! No change.
We restarted the server and double checked if the new Host Key is selected under the "Domains> "My Domain Name">Settings>General Settings>Miscellaneous>SSH Host Key". Yes it is the new one indeed.
Test again using "sftp -P 52201 -o FingerprintHash=md5 <hostname>".
No change!!!
What's happening?
Where did we go wrong?
Please advise
Thanks

Re: WingFTP Host key , not changing
Maybe the SFTP client uses ECDSA host key, you can check on the option "Server > Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous > Disable ECDSA SSH host key", then it will always use RSA host key.
