Once there, add the SFTP server, port (22 by default) username and password and log in.


Once connected you can click on Server/Protocol Information under the Session menu:


This will provide you with the SSH-RSA fingerprint for your site in the form "ssh-rsa 2048 aa:11:aa:11:aa:11:aa:11:aa:11:aa:11:aa:11:aa:11"


Paste this fingerprint into a String Builder static text item on the Write to SFTP configuration page
