Bob,

        It will be a setting in your ftp client config or ssl config. Most 
likely the
ftp client. Basically, you need to find the setting that prevents accepting the
self-signed certificate. What client are you using? If you are using the command
line, then it will be your ssl config. The system wide client config is
/etc/ssh/ssh_config. You can also create a per-user override by creating
~/.ssh/config. I don't know the exact setting, but you could probably google
'opensuse sftp self-signed certificate not accepted' and find what you need.
Good luck :p
