Afternoon
Was hoping somebody could help me, i have purchased a SSL cert for external HTTP access of Wing FTP, im trying to install a Go Daddy cert on the server, but whenever i try to add the SSL Cert i get an error of Invalid SSL certificate file.
Could somebody point me to so help, or detailed instructions of how to get this setup and working?
Thanks

Re: SSL Cert install
Please make sure it is a standard PEM format cert first, and then you can have a look on this KB article:

Re: SSL Cert install
Thanks for your reply, sorry i dont know what you mean by a standard PEM format cert, i have copied the CRT file and i now have my cert from Go Daddy, im just trying to install it into Wing FTP for use?
Everytime i go in and install it i get an error telling me its an invalid SSL file, i have followed the info on the link you sent but it doesnt seem to give much detail into how i actually import the cert into Wing FTP
Thanks

Re: SSL Cert install
You can generate the ".key" file and ".csr" file via Wing FTP Server ("Server -> Settings -> SSL Certificate Manager"), then send the ".csr" file to godaddy to request the signed certificate, download the cert from godaddy like this:
Then you will get a zip file, it may include two crt files:
Combine those two crt files into one crt file is like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
your site certificate signed by Godaddy
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
intermediate certificates
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Re: SSL Cert install
Morning
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated, sorry im a little confused, i have done all the Go Daddy part, and now have from them a .crt and .p7b file, the step im struggling with now is getting them into Wing FTP and making the software use that cert for external HTTPS.
if i try to import via SSL Certificate Manager i just get an error stating invalid SSL file.
Apologies if im misunderstanding, thanks again for any help provided.

Re: SSL Cert install
That's great, how did you do it? combined the correct signed cert and intermediate certs?
