Custom Host Key Support for SFTP Connections

Description:
The latest release introduces support for adding a Custom Host Key during SFTP connection setup in Ushur Studio. This optional feature enhances security by allowing users to verify the server's identity using custom server fingerprints. By adding this key, users can ensure that they are connecting to the correct server.

Benefits:

• Improved security through optional server verification.

• Flexibility to use different encryption algorithms (RSA and ECDSA).

• No impact on connection functionality if the key is not provided.

Notes

• The custom host key currently supports only server fingerprints that include RSA (ssh-rsa) and ECDSA (ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521).

• The connection will proceed normally, even if the custom host key is omitted.

For more information, refer to SFTP Connections.

Miscellaneous

• Bug Fixes: Resolved bugs to ensure smoother operation.
