Support for Mutual Authentication FileZilla server

#1 Post by Yalatif » 2010-12-17 17:48

Hi, Does "Filezilla server" supports mutual authentication(both the client and the server both get authenticated. In my case using X509 cert)?

I have C# windows service application (client) that has to upload the files usign FTPS protocol to FileZilla server. But first of all, I wonder if FileZilla even supports mutual authentication.

Thanks

Clients authenticate themselves the FTP way, by use of a username and a password. X.509 client certificates are not supported.

Hello is this still the case for FTPS..?

ie certificate based Mutual Authentication is still not supported.?

However if I use SFTP (SSH) with keypairs I can implement MA .?

Thanks

This hasn't changed in either flavor of FileZilla Server.

Hello,

So If we switch protocol to SFTP (SSH) we could perform MA using keypairs for each end in FileZilla.? ie a KeyPair for the FZ server and another KeyPair for the HPE NonStop SSH client end.?

Thanks

Damian
