Known Hosts
View and manage server fingerprints that Ternux has verified.
When you connect to a new SSH server for the first time, Ternux shows a fingerprint verification dialog. If you accept the fingerprint, it is stored in the Known Hosts list.
Viewing known hosts
Navigate to Connections → Known Hosts. Each entry shows:
- Hostname and port
- Fingerprint (SHA-256)
- Date first seen
Why fingerprints matter
SSH fingerprints protect you against man-in-the-middle attacks. If a server's fingerprint changes unexpectedly, Ternux will warn you before connecting.
If you see an "unexpected fingerprint" warning for a host you have connected to before, do not proceed until you confirm the server's identity out-of-band.
Removing a known host
Click Delete on any entry to remove it. The next connection to that host will prompt for fingerprint verification again.
Bulk management
Use Settings → Connection → Known Hosts to clear all stored fingerprints or import from an existing ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.
