Using WS_FTP Self-signed Certificate file (.crt) and Private Key File. (.key)

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use a self-signed certificate created by WS_FTP with Chilkat FTP2.

Note: It is usually not necessary for the FTP client to use a client-side certificate. Most FTP servers using SSL and TLS connections (explicit or implicit) do not require client-side certs. In addition, some high-security FTP servers require "real" certificates -- meaning certificates issued by a real certificate authority with a chain of authentication that leads to a trusted root certificate. The certificates created by WS_FTP are self-signed and untrusted.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Important:  Before running this program, convert your
// .crt and .key files to a .p12 using OpenSSL:
// The command is this:
// openssl pkcs12 -export -in test.crt -inkey test.key -out test.p12
// 

let ftp = chilkat::Ftp2::new();

ftp.set_hostname("ftp.example.com");
ftp.set_port(21);
ftp.set_username("testLogin");
ftp.set_password("testPassword");

// This example will use explict TLS/SSL.
// Establish an explicit secure channel after connection
// on the standard FTP port 21.
ftp.set_auth_tls(true);

// The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
// on port 990.  Because this example uses explicit SSL, it 
// should remain false.
ftp.set_ssl(false);

// Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a .p12 file,
// locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
// (a P12/PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
let cert_store = chilkat::CertStore::new();
// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// .p12 file's password.  (OpenSSL will prompty you to set a password
// when converting the .crt and .key into a .p12).
if cert_store.load_pfx_file("test.p12", "secret").is_err() {
    println!("{}", cert_store.last_error_text());
