How to generate a CSR for Verisign for use with FileZilla (in Windows)

  • 772

I need to get a certificate from VeriSign to use in FileZilla (FTPS, FTP over SSL), to get the certificate, Verisign asks for a CSR file, FileZilla doesn't seem to have a way to generate those CSR files; how would I go about generating this file that VeriSign needs so they can issue a certificate that I can use in FileZilla?

ftps ssl-certificate csr

  1. You will need to use something like openssl to generate a Certificate Signing Request. It is not too difficult to do and there are plenty of instructions on how to do it on the internet.

    openssl genrsa -out host.key 2048
openssl req -new -nodes -key host.key -out host.csr

    Or something to that affect.
