FTPS with certificate not working

Following will be my code for connecting to FTPS, there is no password on p12 certificate. client.SecureDataTransfers = True AddHandler client.CertificateRequired, AddressOf client_File_CertificateRequired client.Connect(FtpObject.HostName, Integer.Parse(FtpObject.PortNumber), SslSecurityMode.Explicit) client.Authenticate(FtpObject.UserName, FtpObject.Password) Private Sub client_File_CertificateRequired(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ComponentPro.Security.CertificateRequiredEventArgs) e.Certificates = New X509Certificate2Collection(New X509Certificate2(FtpObject.SshPrivateKeyPath, "")) End Sub **Certificate Information**

hi Melody, Please check the private key you are providing is being read with the help of debugging e.Certificates = New X509Certificate2Collection(New X509Certificate2(FtpObject.SshPrivateKeyPath, "")) The file should be in the PKCX#12 .PFX format.

Hi Martin, It is in .p12 extension format, can componentPro support .p12 certificate?
