Client Certificate Verification

If the server you are attempting to make a connection to requires your client to send an identifying certificate back to the server, you must:

  1. Configure the site and select either FTPS/Implicit SSL or FTPS/SSL (AUTH SSL) when asked for the server type.
  2. Create a certificate. Refer to the section Generating a Certificate for more information.
  3. Send the Certificate Signing Request file to your server administrator.
  4. After the server administrator signs the Certificate Signing Request, it will be sent back to you.
  5. When you receive the file, follow the directions for Selecting a Certificate, selecting the new certificate to go in the Certificate box.
  6. Connect to the server.
