Dropbear 2018.76 when behaving as client sending sha1 as mac

[Chahar, Rohini]

Hi,

I am experiencing a problem w.r.t dropbear 2018.76. I have the version installed and it is working fine but when I try to do a copy from this to a server that time dropbear is sending mac as hmac-sha1. However when I try to do login via putty that time dropbear behaves as server and uses mac as hmac-sha2-256.
In default file it is written that sha2 is default option but it is not coming as default. My understanding was that dropbear sends sha2 as default option and when server do not supports the mac it falls back to sha1.
Do I need to do some code changes or is this a known problem? Please help me in resolving this issue.

Regards,
Rohini
