I tested today SFTP over port 443 with COREftp server and Bitkinex client and it works well. I want to use it for our company because our customers normally when sending confidential files they do not even want to open ports such as 22, 21, 990 and so forth. So port 443 is ideal for us.
The question is how can install a commercial certificate. Does anyone know the steps ? so that our customers can use for example:
sftp://sftpserver.domain.com
How to create the certificate request in COREftp server?
Thanks
John

For FTPS/SSL
Go into the "certificate" section of the domain setup. Then right click on the right pane of the "Certificate list" screen, and select "Manage Certificates" to import and/or select the commercial certificate.
For SFTP via SSH2 (a little more complicated)
You will need to edit the configuration file manually (CoreFTPServer\config.dat - stop the server and exit before doing this).
For the SFTP/SSH domain, there will be a field called "DJ" (ie: DJ=certs\00000001). This is the certificate for the SFTP domain. You will need to export your commercial certificate to OpenSSH format in order for Core FTP Server to read it.
Backup the old self-signed certificate if you wish to use it later, and then replace the certificate (file from the DJ field) with your newly exported OpenSSH format certificate).
