FTP SSL Certificate - ServicePoint

[mike]

I am trying to implement FtpWebRequest with EnableSsl = true.

The WS_FTP server has our VeriSign Server Certificate installed and with the
WS_FTP Pro client am able to connect. However, with their client we are
presented with a dialog and must manually add the Certificate to the
client's Trusted Authorities database. Seems odd but Ipswitch verified, that
is how to proceed.

Now with .NET 2.0 I am getting a response of...

"The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure."

However when looking at the results of the ServicePoint, the .Certificate is
null?

I saw one blog that had something to do with having a space in the name
but...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you,

- Mike

Console.WriteLine("ServicePoint connections = {0}.", sp.ConnectionLimit);

m_ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)m_ftpRequest.GetResponse();
srReader = new StreamReader(m_ftpResponse.GetResponseStream());

return (srReader.ReadToEnd());

Hi Mike,

I also encounter the same problem. You manage resolve this issue?

It seem like the servicepoint doesn't receive any things.
