Having an SSL Certificate Signed

To have a certificate signed

  1. Create a certificate. CuteFTP generates the necessary files, including a Certificate Signing Request (.csr) file.

  2. Send the .csr file to the server or a Certificate Authority (CA) such as Verisign (www.verisign.com) or Thawte (www.thawte.com).

  3. The server or CA uses your .csr file to create a signed certificate (.crt) file, which it should then send to you.

  4. Replace your existing .crt file with the signed one.
