What command do I use to see what the ECDSA key fingerprint of my server is?

I see stuff all over Google on how to see the RSA key fingerprint, but not the ECDSA fingerprint.

How do I find my Ecdsa host key?

Host keys are generally found under /etc/ssh/ on the server you are trying to connect to. The server host key string printed in the verbose output is simply the fingerprint of the server's public key, not the actual key itself.

What is the Ecdsa host key?

A host key is a cryptographic key used for authenticating computers in the SSH protocol. Host keys are key pairs, typically using the RSA, DSA, or ECDSA algorithms. Public host keys are stored on and/or distributed to SSH clients, and private keys are stored on SSH servers.

Wait, I found it. Run the command:

ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
