If you are using Linux or OSX, SSH is used from the terminal. Type the command shown below to check the host key fingerprint. Do not enter any passwords. Instead, exit by typing Control+C. For Windows users, install an SSH client like PuTTY (http://www.putty.org) and follow the directions given in the following link. Windows Specific Directions

user $ssh -o VisualHostKey=yes check@magnolia.usm.edu

Host key fingerprint is SHA256:glQIZZKlsAwf3QJNNDQSxFpRzE2rKs4GfxByO6ZBzis
