I'm trying to set up SSL FTP to a server running WS-FTP server (Ipswitch).
I have received a self-signed certificate from the WS-FTP server but, when I
try to import it into DCM, I get the message "An error occurred during
certificate validation. The issuer of the certificate may not be in the
certificate store or the issuer may not be enabled.". I have imported a
self-signed certificate from another brand of FTP server successfully in the
past week but cannot get the Ipswitch cert to work.

Sounds to me like you need the CA certificate from the signer of the certificate you are trying to import.

Import the CA certificate into the *SYSTEM certificate store, ensure it is enabled (via the Set CA Status link), and then import the certificate.
