What is Known Host in SSH Client?

The Known Hosts section displays the list of servers or profiles that you (the user) have previously connected to using the SSH Client app.

  • It shows the IP address or hostname of each connected server or SSH profile.
  • Entries are automatically added after your first successful SSH connection.
  • Only SSH profiles are listed in the Known Hosts section. Other types of profiles will not appear here.
  • This feature helps you:
  • Quickly identify and trust previously connected servers.
  • Avoid repeated security confirmation prompts when reconnecting to the same SSH host.
