Set an FTPS Client Certificate from a PFX File

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.SetSslClientCertPfx method, which loads a client certificate and private key from a PFX/P12 file. The first argument is the file path and the second is its password.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.
