FYI - I use IE to go to the site. You cannot get anywhere for IE does
not support SSL FTP but if you go HTTPS://ftpsite:21 or 990 or whatever
port they use, you will get your lock ICON and can download the
certificate to your PC, Export and then Import your iSeries. That is
what I had to do when a business partner would not send their public
certificate cause that would be a security violation. Yea right!

Subject: RE: SSL FTP question---Update
Well, after several days, and a discussion with the folks who own the
target system, I got a certificate from them, imported it, declared it
to be trusted, and made a connection that permitted me to put a file
onto their machine.
The kicker is that these folks had purchased a third party package from
Rhino
http://www.rhinosoft.com/ and had no idea how to export a
certificate. They claimed that they were under the impression that this
would be unnecessary.
I politely suggested that they contact their software vendor about this
issue. About 45 minutes later, I received the certificate via email.
