L'avertissement pour une connexion FTP non chiffrée
The warning for an unencrypted FTP connection

An FTPS server's certificate

SSHive accepts the certificate on the first connection and remembers it. If it changes, FTPS security warning shows the old and the new fingerprint: Cancel connection when in doubt, Update and continue if the certificate was renewed. A valid certificate from a recognised authority is accepted without a question.

Applies to SSHive 2.0.6 on Mac
