To make an SSL connection with a server configured for SSL:
Create a site profile and select either FTPS/Implicit SSL or FTPS/SSL (AUTH SSL) when asked for the server type.
After you click Connect, Progress WS_FTP Professional tells the server that you want to make an SSL connection. The server then transmits to you an identifying certificate, letting the client know who the server is. If that certificate is already listed in your Trusted Authority database, the connection is made.
If that certificate is not listed as a trusted authority, the Non-Trusted Authority dialog box appears.
Select the option you need and click OK. If the server does not require a certificate to be returned, the secure connection will be established. All data transmitted between you and the server will be encrypted.
If the server you are attempting to make a connection to asks WS_FTP to send back a certificate, follow the direction for Client Certificate Verification.
