FileZilla Forums

Hello to all !

I wanted to know if it is possible to setup a standalone FileZilla Server (without any webserver) on a Windows 2022 server, and to cypher the transfers using a Let's Encrypt certificate. If this is possible, is there some setup procedure that I could follow ?

I do not understand if FileZilla Server holds its own ACME scripts to get the required certificates, or if it requires some additional scripts such as WACS or Certbot... In fact, I'm lost

This is my environment :
- Windows server 2022 datacenter
- FileZilla Server v 1.6.7
- dadicated url which points on that server
- open ports 21, 990 and data
- works well with self-issued certificate
- cannot configure Let's Encrypt auto-renew certificate

Many thanks in advance

Cheers,
Cyril

Yes, FileZilla Server can obtain Let's Encrypt certificates all by itself, no additional software is needed. To this extent, it has a minimal built-in web server used solely for the ACME challenges.

On the Let's Encrypt page, select the internal webserver and add listeners on :: and 0.0.0.0, both port 80. Make sure port 80 is opened in your firewall.
