Not able to upload from Dreamweaver 19.1 after keyhost change on WPEngine

[ladobeugm]

I've been uploading to one of my clients sites hosted by WPEngine with no problem for some time. Recently, WPEngine did a host key change. So I removed my key in Terminal (I'm on Mac) and I can SFTP using Cyberduck but not Dreamweaver anymore. Instead, I get the following prompt:

Failed to Read the contents of XML Resource:

IDD_SSH_KEY_CHANGE_DIALOG

Contacted WPEngine support and they said it's Dreamweaver's fault (of course) and to use Filezilla or Cyberduck instead. I prefer Dreamweaver. So I want to keep using that but how do I eliminate this error?

Which version of DW are you using?

Legacy versions cannot support the newer encryption ciphers.

That link did the trick. Renamed the ssh_hosts file and now I'm connecting. Thank you!

BTW, I'm on 19.1. Dreamweaver 2019.
