AutoIt Requires Chilkat v10.1.2+

Secure FTP with Client Certificate

See more FTP Examples

Chilkat FTP2 provides the ability to use a client certificate with secure FTP (implicit or explicit SSL/TLS). This example demonstrates how to load a certificate from a .pfx and use it as the client-side SSL cert. Note: Client-side certificates are only needed in situations where the server demands one.
