Remove-RemoteFingerprint #
SYNOPSIS #
Remove the remote fingerprint from the local cache.
SYNTAX #
Remove-RemoteFingerprint [[-server] <String>] [[-protocol] <String>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION #
This function helps in managing the fingerprint data of remote servers that have been cached locally. It is particularly useful in scenarios where the remote server’s fingerprint has changed due to reasons such as re-installation, updates, or any other modifications. The function removes the stored fingerprint data of the specified remote server from the local cache, allowing the updated fingerprint data to be reacquired in the next connection attempt.
Please note the requirements and information about FTP, FTPS, and SFTP, as well as SecureString, which we have summarized under Sftp. There you will also find examples for creating a compatible certificate.
