CRIPTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Due to the wide range of scripts that CuteFTP Professional is able to accom o

m date 

we are unable to offer technical support on individual scripts, o

  ther than what is 

available in the help files and online Knowledge Base.  

If you are having trouble with your script, try to perform the desire  

d action manually, 

using the CuteFTP GUI.  If you cannot, then troubleshoot that problem first an  

d

then re try your script.   

If you are able to perform the desired actions, and in the desired sequence w

  hen 

using t

  he GUI, then the problem is not with CuteFTP or the FTP Server.  The next 

thing to do is to t

  roubleshoot your script line by line.

HEN RUNNING A SCRIPT WHILE NOT LOGGED IN

) 

Setting up the TE to connect to a  

n FTP server over SSL (via scripting) involves several 

steps. Follow the instructions below carefully. 

You must know whether the TE will require the use of server certificates only, or both 

server and client certificates. 

Server Certificates 

Most FTP SSL servers will provide a certificate to the client during authentication. The 

certificate proves the server s legitimacy to the client. The server's certificate must be added 

the client's Trusted Certificate store prior to any connection, otherwise the TE will lock up 

when  r

t ying to authenticate. 

1.  Export or obtain a copy of the server's certificate from the FTP server administrator. 

t

O herwise connect to the server with the CuteFTP GUI (in e

t rface) from the 

developer machine and manually accept the server's  e

c rtificate. You can then export 

it from the Trusted List under Global Options > Security > SSL Security to a 

staging directory of your choice.  

2.  Place/Install the certificate into the target machine's Default User directo y

r . For 

example: 

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application 

Data\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP Pro\Security 

3.  If you will also be running the TE while logged in, place a copy of the server 

certificate under the USER folder on the target machine, as follows:
