Need assistance setting up a FTP SSL job. I have to FTP to a site on a specific port, pass a key, username, and password (this get's me through the firewall), then pass another key to connect to the FTP server.

Is there a way to do this in Visual Cron?

Hi,

I have three SSL connections whitin VisualCron and it works like a charm!
How to set it up?

Main settings
FTP SSL Explicit (AUTH SSL)
Name: Connectionname
Address: Ip number
Port: 21

Security
Authentication type: Password
username: john
Password: johnspassword :-)

Certificates
Use client certificate
file: the file is a pfx file
password: password of the cetrificate
Auto-accept all server sertificates

After the connetion is made, other ports are used to communicate in a high range.
I'm also going through a proxy and firewall. They are setup so that this connection doesn't have any blocks.

You are telling that you use a key instead of a certificate. I see that only SFTP SSH can use a key file. You're sure you have a key file not a certificate?

Hope this helped you out.

Regards

Sorry, I am probably using wrong terms. When I first connect to the site I need to pass a certificate, user id and password (this is for the firewall), then I need to pass what looks like a private key and certificate to authenticate to the FTP server.

I think you have to create a certificate from your visualcron machine. I had to do this also. I had to go to a website (from the company who owns the ftp site) and asked for a certificate. Over there I had to insert a lot of things like name / password, all for the certificate. After all this I could download the certificate file. This file I'm using in VC in the certificate tab.

You might have to do the same? Do you have your certificate already?
