Got a SFTP Hostname username password from someone and he gave me a Server RSA public key fingerprint like this: d2:h4:h5:gf:f4
etcetera. But how do i need to connect to this host, doesnt this fingerprint key need to be in a file? I already tried connecting to the host with winscp and putty, but i do not know where to enter the fingerprint. And also next to this i tried to ping the host, the host is called : test.example.com
on port 7001
I pinged with cmd.exe
but i get no response.
My questions are:
- Do i need to create a file from the rsa string
- is the server maybe down? or do you need to have the RSA fingerpring to also check the activity of the server
I googled for hours and could not get an answer thank you
