Filezilla Server is free and open-source software that allows you to create your FTP server in a few simple steps. It can be said that it is the server counterpart of the well-known FTP client application Filezilla.
Filezilla Server supports both FTP and FTPS (SSL/TLS), installed on any Windows system, and provides a file upload and download service, using any FTP client or backup software.
Steps:
- On your FileZilla server, open FileZilla Server Options.
Click Edit > Settings.
- In the FileZilla Server Options window, in the tree on the left side, select SSL/TLS settings.
- On the right side, under SSL/TLS settings, check Enable SSL/TLS support.
- In the Private key file box, enter the key file’s location that you generated when you created the CSR.For example, C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\your _domain_name.key
- In the Certificate file box, enter the location of the .pem certificate file that contains the server certificate + intermediate certificate.For example, C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\your _domain_name.pem
- When you are finished, click OK.
- Your SSL Certificate is now installed and ready to use.
- First Connection On the first connection using the Filezilla client, you are presented with the server’s certificate files.
To avoid receiving this prompt on future connections, in the Unknown certificate window, check Always trust certificate in future sessions, and then click OK.
If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, Acmetek recommends that you contact either the vendor of your software or the organization that supports it.
