Why is SshHostKeyFingerprint needed when SshPrivateKeyPath is set to private key file
I am having the same issue,
SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,
HostName = _sftpConfig.Value.HostName,
UserName = _sftpConfig.Value.UserName,
PortNumber = _sftpConfig.Value.Port,
SshPrivateKeyPath = sftpKeyPath
};

Note that you should use the
You should not use it to automatically accept the key! That does not make you safe. It would be effectively the same as setting the

Re: Why is SshHostKeyFingerprint needed when SshPrivateKeyPath is set to private key file
When I connect manually using the GUI WinSCP client to an SFTP site, I specify Host Name, User Name and Private Key File. No password or fingerprint is needed to connect.
That's not true. On the first connect, you are prompted to verify a public key of the server.

When I connect manually using the GUI WinSCP client to an SFTP site, I specify Host Name, User Name and Private Key File. No password or fingerprint is needed to connect. However, when I try to connect through the .NET client by specifying the same corresponding properties, I get this error:
Is there a default value set for this property when using the Windows GUI client that I need to set directly when using the .NET client?
System.ArgumentException: SessionOptions.Protocol is Protocol.Sftp or Protocol.Scp, but SessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint is not set.
