$oSsh = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Ssh")

Local $sHostname = "ssh.example.com"
Local $iPort = 22
Local $bSuccess = $oSsh.Connect($sHostname,$iPort)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSsh.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Get the classic MD5 fingeprint
Local $sMd5_fingerprint = $oSsh.HostKeyFingerprint
ConsoleWrite($sMd5_fingerprint & @CRLF)

; Sample output:
; ssh-rsa 3072 21:b0:d8:41:4e:ef:78:10:20:af:01:b7:71:5d:eb:94

; Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.92, we can also get the SHA256 fingerprint.
; (it is also possible to get fingerprints using other hash algorithms such as SHA384, SHA512, etc.)
