Non-Trusted Certificate

When you connect to a server using the SSL connection option, that server sends you a certificate . If that certificate is not listed on the Trusted Authority tab, or if it was not trusted by a certificate on this list, this window appears.

Certificate Information

  • Issued To. Name of the person or company who the certificate belongs to.
  • Issued By. Name of the person or company who signed the certificate.
  • Active From. The date on which this certificate was activated.
  • Expires On. The date the displayed certificate will no longer be a valid certificate.

Options

  • Allow this connection only. If this option is selected, the connection will be made, but WS_FTP will still not recognize the certificate as a trusted authority. The next time you attempt to connect to this server, this window appears once again.
  • Trust this certificate. If this option is selected, the connection will be made and the certificate will be added to the trusted authority database in the Trusted Authority tab.
  • Do not allow this connection. If this option is selected, the connection will be terminated.
