FTP over SSL
Last Updated -
As of August 2011, we replaced our FTP service with FTP over SSL.
Some things to note:
- This is NOT SFTP. This is using FTP with an SSL/TLS connection.
- Only use versions of Filezilla 3.7.4.1 or older.
- All research indicates that Frontpage does not support an SSL/TLS connection at this time.
- Dreamweaver's newest version does support FTP over SSL/TLS.
If using FileZilla:
- Go to File > Site Manager
- On the left side of the screen, click on the FTP account you want to edit.
- On the right side, change the Encryption to Require explicit FTP over TLS and click OK.
- Also ensure that your Protocol is FTP and the Logon Type is set to Normal.
- Test your connection and when you see the Unknown certificate screen, check the Always trust this certificate in future sessions.
- You're Done.

If using Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional:
- Find the site you want to edit from the list of connections, highlight it and click Edit.
- Click the Advanced option on the left.
- Under the Server Type, choose the FTP/SSL (AUTH SSL) option and click OK.
- Test your connection and when you see the "Non-Trusted Certificate" popup window, choose Trust this certificate and click OK.
- You're Done.
