My problem is, how to create a self-signed SSL-certificate by using only FTP/sFTP? Or is it even possible?
I have only FTP-connection to my client's site. I have browsed plenty of tutorials about self-signed SSL-certificates, but nothing even close to this case. Is it simply not possible to make it over FTP? Could I install cpanel etc. over FTP and make it there? I have never done any SSL-certificate before.
All I need is working SSL-certificate for my client. And no hosting company included making it. (My client doesn't want to pay for them, since they ask rather much.)
But how do I install a free certificate only with FTP?? No cpanel, no nothing... Hosting company is not willing to offer any support, but only their own certificate services. Could it help that there is WordPress? Could I have some plugin there to help? – Janne – 2019-07-30T14:21:33.377
1It's impossible to use FTP as a shell. You should ask for SSH access to the computer, then you could run programs. – harrymc – 2019-07-30T14:48:08.327
Thanks a lot for you answers, harrymc! I think this case is now closed. I'll tell my client that they need to pay what the hosting company asks for a certificate. Have a nice day! – Janne – 2019-07-31T14:16:23.630
