Configure SSL: Choose Certificate

Top  Previous  Next

 

The following popup window is displayed when you click the Choose Certificate button on the Configure SSL dialog in the Configurator. This window allows you to choose the default client-side certificate and private key-pair that Robo-FTP uses to negotiate SSL connections. Most sites secured with SSL do not require a client-side certificate. Contact the site administrator, or other responsible resource, to determine if a client certificate is required.

 

Configure SSL Tab Choose Certificate

 

The certificate you choose may be issued by a third party Certificate Authority or you may have created it using the Create Certificate button in the Configurator.

 

A similar window is displayed when you configure a FTPS or HTTPS managed site to authenticate using a certificate and key other than the system defaults set on the Configure SSL menu.

 

Note: If you need to use a PKCS #12 certificate (extension .p12) for HTTPS uploads, specify the same file name as both the Certificate File and the Private Key File.
