Re: SSL FTP from V5R2 AS/400 to BellSouth

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought in your original post you were FTPing to a
server.. if that's the case, then the FTP server really
doesn't play a role here.  You're using the FTP client.

You said bell south sent you a certificate.  Did they send
a certificate or a CA (or both).  If they require that you
do client authentication then you'll need to assign the
cert they sent (which I assume is the one for the client
authentication) to the FTP client, not the server.

If not, and this is "simple SSL", then you should try and
find out for sure if you have the CA in the *SYSTEM store
or have the right CA assigned to the FTP client
application.

NOT TRUSTED ROOT is pretty specific of an error.  So I'd
make sure you have the CA installed properly, at least in
the system store.  If you have the cert on your PC, you
should be able to double click on it to see the hierarchy
of  authorities.
