hi Alexander ,all

Sorry to bug you again.

 I found file that has certificate from IBM information exchange,it  is   .PFX  
file.
Wiki says for X509 certs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS
that  pfx is one of 6 formats in X.509, and it is basically  a .P12 - PKCS#12, 
which may contain certificate(s) (public) and private keys (password protected)

at IBM website when getting the certificate from web browser :
http://pki.services.ibm.com/ieftp/ie5.shtml
the person should put passwd for that file.  

Later they say that for, e.g. FTP-TLS client, i need to convert PKCS#12 to PEM 
format  http://pki.services.ibm.com/ieftp/webdocs.shtml#ftps_clients
by  "openssl pkcs12 -in pkcs#12_filename -out pem_filename"
and then enter passwords etc...  They describe it in : 
http://pki.services.ibm.com/ieftp/convert2pem.shtml
(i would need to split pem into 2 files, private key and  client certificate)

now when you said:
> Password protected keys are not supported yet.
Can you tell me if LFTP  3.0.13  will or will not work for me ? ( btw. ssh -V 
says mentions OpenSSL 0.9.7d on our AIX machine)

Or maybe there is workaround ? maybe when i convert it to PEM i can leave the 
password blank?
It is important for me to know this , so to not spend to much time and all...

(at moment i'm stuck with  testing lftp due to some firewall issues etc., plus 
i  don't have passwd of above .PFX file, my  colleague will need to re-export 
it from his browser with new passwd.)

and i hope that my questions are understandable as I'm new to this.

Best regards,
branko

p.s. i hope it will work, then I'll  definitely  ask management to give some 
support to lftp developers.
