 This article contains a list of valid host keys used to connect to Azure Blob Storage from SFTP clients.
 
 Blob storage now supports the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This support provides the ability to securely connect to Blob Storage via an SFTP endpoint, allowing you to leverage SFTP for file access, file transfer, as well as file management. For more information, see [SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) support for Azure Blob Storage](secure-file-transfer-protocol-support.md).
 
-When you connect to Blob Storage by using an SFTP client, you might be prompted to trust a host key. During the public preview, you can verify the host key by finding that key in the list presented in this article.

 ## Use concurrent connections to increase throughput
 
 Azure Blob Storage scales linearly until it reaches the maximum storage account egress and ingress limit. Therefore, your applications can achieve higher throughput by using more client connections. To view storage account egress and ingress limits, see [Scalability and performance targets for standard storage accounts](../common/scalability-targets-standard-account.md).

However, the standard transaction, storage, and networking prices for the underlying Azure Data Lake Store Gen2 account still apply. SFTP might incur additional charges when the feature becomes generally available.  
+Enabling the SFTP endpoint has an hourly cost. We will apply this hourly cost on or after 12/1/2022.
