How can i fix EDSA key fingerprint error?
Hi when try to login as root to ssh it is saying "The authenticity of host '137.162.177.xxx (137.162.177.xxx)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:7u2OK6VhXPjwn+BGfZgFRNbGFIM8v……
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
What is the reason of it and how can i fix it?
Thank you.

Generally, this error means that you are missing the $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts file (or it can't be read/written or otherwise has incorrect permissions):
