4.  Configurel the TE to auto accept SSL or SSH certificat s

e  using the 

AutoCloseMethod parameter of the Option method. Also refer to the following 

trouble shooting topic regarding running the TE while not logged in. 

Now when you connect, the TE sees the server's certificate and proceed with the 

connection.  

Client Certificates 

Some FTP SSL servers require that the client provide a certificate. T

  he certificate proves the 

veracity of the client and is an important factor in weeding out spurious FTP clients 

masquerading as legitimate ones. 

To setup the target system to use client certificates 

1.  On the developer machine, create the client certificate and private key pair using the 

CuteFTP GUI (interface). The certificate creation utility is located under the Too s

l  

> Global Setti g

n s > Security > SSL dialog. 

2.  Add the client certificate to the server's trusted list. Do this by connecting to the 

server with the CuteFTP GUI (interface) from the developer machine. On the 

serv r

e , move the certificate from the Pending to the Trusted list. If your server only 

has a Trusted list, manually import the client certificate into the Trusted list. 

3.  Place the client certificate and private key into the target machine's USER folder: 

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application 

Data\GlobalS A

C PE\CuteFTP Pro\Security 

  where [USERNAME] is the login name for the user. 

4.  If you created the certificate set on the developer machine, export the following 

registry key: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP 

Professional\Settings\SecuritySSL 

5.  Import the registry key from step 4 onto the target machine, or manually create th  

e

necessary entries. The entries are shown in standard .reg file notation.
