Assuming that i trust that the server that is at the address is reliable (it is an internal server in the network)
1) I purged the data saved in WinSCP from previous connections so it erases the saved key (under tools).
2) i reconnected to the sftp server, biung the 1st time WinSCP shows me the key and ask if I accept it anyway
3) At this point you see a message with the Key and there is a button to copy it :-)

You can also get the key on Server and Protocol Information Dialog:

problem solved :-)

No. That would spoil the purpose of key verification.

I cannot give any date yet.

You should know it before connecting. Should be part of the info you get from the server admin, along with your credentials.

i have a big problem :),namely, I write a C # program that scans a network and connect using WinSCP to several servers.to connect to this server, I need a SSHkey!!!
