SSH Client: Known Hosts Page

If you click SSH Client: Known Hosts at the top of one of the SSH pages, the SSH
Client: Known Hosts page displays. Here you can change SSH client settings for known
hosts.
Note: You do not have to complete the fields on this page for communication to
occur. However, completing them adds another layer of security that protects
against Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks.

Description
Enter the path and name of the existing private key you want to
upload or use the Browse button to select the key. Be sure the
private key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the
data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.
Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want to
upload or use the Browse button to select the key.
Select a key type to be used. Choices are:
RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Select a key type to be used for the new key. Choices are:
RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Select a bit length for the new key. Choices are:
512
768
1024
Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key.
Approximate times are:
10 seconds for a 512-bit RSA key
1 minute for a 768-bit RSA key
2 minutes for a 1024-bit RSA key
2 minutes for a 512-bit DSA key
10 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key
15 minutes for a 1024-bit DSA key
Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024
bits long.
