			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/">FileZilla</a> is a free, open source FTP<br />
server (there is also a client) with SSL/TLS support.</p>
<p>I wanted to use my real SSL Certificate that I had for my website to secure the communication<br />
to my FTP Server and couldn't find any instructions on how to do so. After a little<br />
searching and some trial and error this is the solution I have come up with, I hope<br />
someone finds this useful.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>The real certificate was set up and installed in IIS6, so the first step is to export<br />
the cert from IIS. The Directory Security tab in the properties section of your website<br />
in IIS has a button labelled "Server Certificate" which will launch the Web Server<br />
Certificate wizard. Once the wizard launches, click next and choose the option "Export<br />
the current certificate to a .pfx file:</p>
<p><img src="http://illdata.com/binary/IISExport1.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>Enter the name and the path of the file and click next. Choose a password to encrypt<br />
the exported file with and click next, then finish.</p>
<p>The program I used to convert the certificate is called <a href="http://www.hohnstaedt.de/xca.html">XCA</a> and<br />
can be downloaded from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xca">SourceForge</a>.<br />
Once you have XCA installed launch the application, and under the certificates tab<br />
select "Import PKCS#12" and browse to the .pfx file that was exported from IIS:</p>
<p><img src="http://illdata.com/binary/XCAImport.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>It will prompt you for the password to decrypt the .pfx file and you will need to<br />
use the password chosen when you exported it from IIS. In the next dialog, chose "import<br />
all".<br />
You should now see an entry under the keys tab named "unnamed" and an entry under<br />
the certificates for your imported certificate.</p>
<p>Now we are going to export the Key file and certificate file required by FileZilla.<br />
To export the key select the "unnamed" key and chose export, check off option to Encrypt<br />
the key with a password, the format will be PEM:</p>
<p><img src="http://illdata.com/binary/keyExport1.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>Then export the certificate in the PEM format also:</p>
<p><img src="http://illdata.com/binary/certExport.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>The final step is to configure FileZilla to use your key and certificate. Browse to<br />
the key and certificate files and enter the password you used to encrypt your key:</p>
<p><img src="http://illdata.com/binary/FilezillaWindow1.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>FileZilla will now use your real SSL Certificate and you will be able to secure your<br />
FTP communications to your server!</p>
