Hi,
I'm not an expert in this area, but I've just setup a website on a remote server. The server admin has given me the ftp login details, but recommends I use ftps for file transfers. He requested me to use port 21. I am able to login with vanilla ftp, but ftps fails with an error...
[...] Connected to xxx.org:21 220 Welcome to xxx's FTP for your site! AUTH TLS 234 Proceed with negotiation. Error with certificate at depth: 0 Issuer = /C=GB/ST=-/L=-/O=-/OU=-/CN=-/emailAddress=- Subject = /C=GB/ST=-/L=-/O=-/OU=-/CN=-/emailAddress=- Error 18:self signed certificate Disconnecting from site xxx.org
The ftp server admin says I'm not accepting his self-signed certificate. He says it works for him on both Windows and Mac. Where should I look to fix this?
My system is openSUSE 11.2& KDE 4.3.5
Thanks,
Bob
Bob,
It will be a setting in your ftp client
Correct.
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
And all the rest of this is wrong. ftps has nothing whatsoever to do with sftp or ssh
curl -k ... wget --no-check-certificate or "set ssl:verify-certificate no" in lftp
That's it! In gFTP Options > SSL Engine > deselect 'Verify SSL Peer'
You can also use unencrypted ftp connections in this case, it is as-secure as switching off peer verification. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
