When you connect to an SFTP server for the first time, the server presents its public host key. A fingerprint is a shortened hash (MD5 or SHA-256) of that key, making it easy to verify you're connecting to the right server and not an impostor. Fingerprints are typically displayed as a hex string (MD5) or a Base64 string (SHA-256).
If the fingerprint changes unexpectedly on a subsequent connection it could indicate a man-in-the-middle attack or a server reinstall — always verify before accepting a new key.
