Sounds good :-)

What have I to do for "livechat support"?
I have no chat client installed in the moment.

Or do you know "Teamviewer"? You will get remote desktop access to me with it.

OK, following the instructions of the livechat support the problem is solved, now :-)

Just to let you know:

I had a digital signed certificate in .pem format. The request for this certificate was not created by wingFTP. The certificate works fine in other applications, but not in wingFTP: "invalid SSL certifacte file".

So I followed the instructions and created a new self-made certicate with wingFTP and got 3 files .crt .key .csr. I put .crt and .key into the certificate- and key-path of wingFTP-Certificate-Manager (like written in the wingFTP-manual). Then I send the .csr (request file) to my CA provider. He change my old pem-file to a new one with the new request (.csr). After this I changed the certificate-path in wingFTP-Certificate-Manager from .crt to my new .pem-file. In the key-path the .key-file stays anymore. And https works fine...

Thank you for your support.

best regards

I have the same problem. I created the csr file, put this to the order by the CA and got the certificate. How do I have to proceed? If I change the Certificate Path to the new certificate, "Invalid SSL certificate file" comes up.

Thanks for your help

Problem is solved, I saved the certificate as a x.509, instead of PKCS#7.

Wing FTP Server supports standard PEM format cert, maybe you can choose "Other server software" as the server software.
