Filezilla Server is free and open-source software that allows you to create your FTP server in a few simple steps. It can be said that it is the server counterpart of the well-known FTP client application Filezilla.
Filezilla Server supports both FTP and FTPS (SSL/TLS), installed on any Windows system, and provides a file upload and download service using any FTP client or backup software.
CSR Generation:
- Log in to your FileZilla server using terminal (ssh).
- Now you must enter the following command. Don’t forget to replace ‘server’ with the name of your server.openssl req –new –newkey rsa:2048 –nodes –keyout server.key –out server.csr
The above command begins the generation process for the private key and CSR. - Provide the details
After you’ve entered the command, you’ll be prompted to enter the common name (domain name). Enter your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the website for which you want to generate CSR. If you want to secure sub-domains using a Wildcard SSL certificate, you must include an asterisk (*) in front of the FQDN. For example, *.yourdomainname.com.Once you’ve entered your common name, you’ll be asked to enter your organization details and geographical details. Enter the details as below:- C: 2-digit country code
- ST: Write the full name of the state. For example, Florida.
- L: Write the full name of the city. For example, New York
- O: Write the full name of your organization without any special characters. If you want to issue an OV or an EV SSL certificate, you must write your organization’s legal name.
- OU: Name of the department (e.g., Marketing Department)4
Once the CSR is generated, kindly send the same to your Certificate authority for getting the certificate issued.
If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, Acmetek recommends that you contact either the vendor of your software or the organization that supports it.
