Re: FTPS Testing (General questions)

I guess I wasn't clear in my question. When I use FileZilla, and specify one of its SSL connection types, I don't have to do anything else. When I connect there, the program would ask whether I want to accept the certificate (that I generated in Serv-U), and if Yes, the connection is established.

However, I'm confused by the instructions in your SSL VB sample:
[code]All you need to do to establish such connection is:
1. Generate new key (and save it so you don't waste time later)
2. Generate new certificate (and save it so you don't waste time later)
3. Copy certificate (BUT NOT PRIVATE KEY!!) to the server
-- where to copy depends on the server. For example, if you use
-- proftpd, it is ~/.tlslogin file
4. Find the 'connect' button and click on it :)[/code]

None of the above is necessary in FileZilla. And even if I try to follow the steps, the certificate and the key cannot be imported by the server (Serv-U) as far as I know.

Thanks,
