Install an SSL Certificate on a FileZilla server
This guide will show you how to install an SSL Certificate on a FileZilla server.
Warning:Filezilla servers are not able to see more than 2 Intermediates.
| Step 1. | First you will need to generate a private key and CSR using OpenSSL. |
| Step 2. | Here are the files you will need to collect: mydomain.crt, mydomain.ca-bundle, and mydomain.key. Be sure that they are all located in the same directory. |
| Step 3. | Start up the command prompt. Then you will need to enter the following command:
On Windows machines: copy mydomain.key + mydomain.crt + mydomain.ca-bundle mydomain_FZ.crt |
| Step 4. | As a result, you should get a file. Open it up in a plain text editor and you should see something that looks like this:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- |
| Step 5. | On your FileZilla server, open the Options window. Make your way to the SSL/TLS settings and reference the file that you have just made in the Private Key and Certificate areas. |

|
| Step 6. | Save it and continue by clicking OK. |
| Step 7. | Stop your server, then start it up again. |
Your server should now be able to make TLS connections.
