How to enable "FTP over SSL" on server?

Message

I tried to search but couldn't find any solution.

In the "Edit"->"Settings"....I clicked on the "SSL/TLS Settings"

I 'checked' the "Enable SSL/TLS support" check box.

Now how do i create the "private key file" and "certificate file"?

Is there any thing else that i need to do to enable "FTP over SSL" or "FTP over TLS"

thanks.

You would have to generate your SSL certificate if you have none yet. There is a 'Generate new certificate' button on the SSL/TLS Settings page.

Hello Boco,

I generated the certificate as follows.

1. checked the "enable ssl/tls support". The "Allow explicit ssl/tls on normal connections" is unchecked. "Force prot p.." is also unchecked.
2. clicked on "generate new certificate" button.
3. mentioned the "server address" as 127.0.0.1
4. clicked on "generate certificate" button.
5. the "generate certificate" dialog box closed.
6. Now i have create a "user group" and "user" with "Force SSL for user login" checkbox as checked.
7. Now when i try to connect using "normal FTP" i get an error that "Response: 530 SSL required"
8. Now i am trying to connect using "FTP over SSL/TLS (implicit encryption)" and getting the following errors on the "server" and "client".

Please let me know do i need to correct?

You'll have to use the SSL port (990 by default) to connect using implicit SSL.

Only if using explicit SSL you can connect using the normal FTP port.

Umm...
Setting a proper server IP instead of Localhost might solve your problem mate.

Cheers!
