Options for "Common Name (Server Address)"

#1 Post by whiskeyjack » 2019-04-01 15:26

Greetings.

I currently have FZ Server installed on a Windows 10 box located on my LAN. I use it as a target to backup several websites I host. It's been working well and have not had any issues. I want to step up the security, however, and use FTP over TLS and generate a self-signed certificate using FZ. One question: in filling out the "Common Name (Server Address)" field, do I use the Domain I have registered with DynamicDNS or create something for the local box?

Thanks

It's best to put the host name there.
