SSH host key reverted to default automatically

I have 2 wingftp servers. Both servers were setup with the same SSH hostkey and verified. Recently noticed that both the servers were using the WingFTP default SSH hostkey. I did not make any change manually. Is there any possibility of Wingftp automatically reverting to the default wingftp SSH hostkey?

OK, WingFTP will create the default host key "wftp_default_ssh.key" automatically if it is removed.
For normal usage, you just need to add a new host key configuration under "Server > Settings > SSH Host Key Manager", and then select the new key under "Domain > Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous > SSH Host Key".
