  And which library are you using?
  
  (If installing your certificate as a trusted one isn't an option, for .Net libs you would use the  ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback to plugin your own validator...)

  Hi timvw,

  Ops, yes that would have been a good thing to include )

  The certificate error is "Self Signed Certificate". I'm just trying to use FTP over SSL to protect my FTP login ID and Password.

   

  I'm using FtpWebRequest

  I kept looking, and as you said... ServicePointManager, I did find this code on the web... and it does seem to work.

  Is this the best way to go about it?

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = AcceptAllCertificatePolicy;

   

  //Code to Accept All Certificates

  public static bool AcceptAllCertificatePolicy(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)

  {

  return true;

  }

   

  Thanks,

  Ron

  As long as you're not doing anything else your code would be enough... But I would probably only return true if the certificate is your own self-signed certificate and in all other cases rely on default validation...
