rfresh Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 27, 2012 #10 Thanks Erel, obviously I should have thought of that. My error msgs are: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol (external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:683 0xad127577:0x00000000) and (SSLProtocolException) javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0x42b450: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error My website provider tells me this: "In summary please adjust [ VisualBasic ] to accept non verified certificates so that it can connection with encryption on." This is a VPS website and the website does not have an SSL Cert so the hosting provider is telling me to let the B4A (VB to them) accept non verified certificates. Is this possible or do I have to actually install an SSL Cert to get this to work? Update: my hosting provider gave me this reference to VB.NET and the AuthSLL property. Does B4A support AuthSSL = False or something like it? AuthSSL = False tells the app not to authenticate the SSL cert (which will prevent the connection failure) but the connection data flow will still be encrypted. http://www.limilabs.com/blog/use-ssl-with-ftp-explicit Last edited: Apr 28, 2012 Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 28, 2012 #11 Such a solution is currently only available for Http requests. If this app is for a specific set of devices then you can try to use a self certificate and add it to the devices certificates list. Upvote 0

rfresh Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 28, 2012 #12 No, my app isn't for a specific set of devices...thanks Erel. Is the FTP feature "accept non verified certificates" something that is on your to do list? Upvote 0
