RE: Secure FTP

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your problem is the self signed CA.  You need to get the FTP server to
import the CA certificate before it will trust any certificates issued
from the CA.

Love your blog by the way.  Very informative.

It can be server and client, if we're talking about FTP/SSL, FTP/TLS.
sftp (the SSH thing) also works, but requires PASE.

The problem with acting as an FTP/SSL/TLS client are certificates, and
their acceptance.

I've played with this a while back and blogged about it:
