Answer 1

Hello there,

Found this script online that demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server, examine the server's SSL/TLS certificate, and then, if it meets the application's security requirements, proceed to authenticate.

Add-Type -Path "xyz".

$ftp = New-Object xyz.Ftp2

$ftp.Hostname = "www.authtls-ftps-server.com"
$ftp.Username = "FTP_LOGIN"
$ftp.Password = "FTP_PASSWORD"
$ftp.AuthTls = $true
$ftp.Port = 21

Connect to the FTP server using explicit TLS (AUTH TLS).

$success = $ftp.ConnectOnly()
if ($success -ne $true) {
$($ftp.LastErrorText)
exit
}

Get the FTP server's certificate.

$serverCert = $ftp.GetSslServerCert()
if ($ftp.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
$($ftp.LastErrorText)
exit
}

Assuming the certificate is OK, proceed to authenticate with the FTP server.

$success = $ftp.LoginAfterConnectOnly()
if ($success -ne $true) {
$($ftp.LastErrorText)
exit
}

Proceed with uploading/download files, etc...

$ftp.Disconnect()
$("Success.")

Answer 3

I have not been able to find anything related to "xyz" as provided by Limitless in their example. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, I just don't know where it comes from.

In any event, I doubt that that code example is going to do much for you since it won't include the private key needed to decrypt anything that is encrypted by the certs public key.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What do you intend to do with the certificate once you get it?

Do you wish to move a certificate from one server to another?
