Here's what I see when I try to replicate on Dolphin 24.12.2 or built from git-master 1. I chose a host key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts 2. changed some characters in the key 3. try to connect in Dolphin with fish://hostname There are *two* errors 1. The first one lets you know there's a fingerprint mismatch (a valid security warning) "The authenticity of host 'hostname (IP)' can't be established. xxx key fingerprint is... This key is not known by any other name" 2. The error you reported and is shown in the screenshot This is expected since the connection did indeed fail. What do you expect to see at this point?
