Howto FTP (implicit SSL) without a valid target certificate

Hi!

I'm using an internal self-signed certificate on my ftp target host and I need to use FTP with implicit SSL/TLS to upload via Hazel.
Unfortunately, once I configure this, Hazel tells me:

"SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain"

Is there anything I can do about that?

Kind Regards,

Not at the moment (unless you use something else to do the upload). I'll consider adding an option to relax that security restriction in a future version.

I know this is an old thread but you mentioned that you're thinking of implementing a way to relax the certificate restriction, and I was wondering how the progress is on that? The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting authentication errors like (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012) and that seems to be related to the authentication much like the certificate problems mentioned in this thread. My host has a certificate from DigiCert so shouldn't be a problem. They force me to use "explicit FTP over TLS" and no alternatives. Connecting with FileZilla works so there's no problem with their certificate and I've never had any problems until I tried to upload things with Hazel.

When trying to upload to one of my own servers localized here at home I am able to browse the server and directories. When making an upload rule and supplying address (sftp in this case) and user / pass I can browse the server and pick a destination folder. But then the upload fails and I get this in the Hazel log:
NSLocalizedFailureReason=SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

So again, something with certificates only this time it's a local system running Debian and I'm using sftp as I have ssh enabled.

I have to admit it's not a high priority since it is a security risk. At best, it would be a hidden default. Short of having a valid certificate chain, you'll have to use a script to do the upload.
