Configure the SSH connection

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, cancel 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
+---[ECDSA 256]---+

|o.o. o           |

check@magnolia.usm.edu's password: 

Make sure that the host key fingerprint (In this case: SHA256:glQIZZKlsAwf3QJNNDQSxFpRzE2rKs4GfxByO6ZBzis) matches one of the fingerprints given in the list of SSH fingerprints for Magnolia. SSH_Fingerprints/magnolia.usm.edu
