#11941 closed Bug report (rejected)

Certificate for update.filezilla-project.org has been broken for me sinse May 26th

Reported by: rooeng Owned by:
Priority: low Component: Other
Keywords: certificate https ssl tls Cc:
Component version: Operating system type: OS X
Operating system version: 10.13.6

Description

Testing the URL: https://update.filezilla-project.org with online certificate checkers report errors. Missing intermediate certificate seems to be the problem. Chain ends at filezilla-project.org which is not a valid Root CA.

This problem has been reported with bug #11934 and rejected. I have tested this at multiple sites and https://update.filezilla-project.org always fails to load. Mostly tested with Chrome or Firefox on macOS.

Don't use online certificate checkers. Use FileZilla's update mechanism to access the update server.

I used the certificate checker to determine why the site was failing to load.

The issue is being experienced by people using package management as reported here:

If you no longer support the update method outside the application, please let the community know.

If you want to use a custom update mechanism you have to host the files yourself. Stop leeching of the FileZilla infrastructure.

I am trying to host the files myself. The system downloads the new update once and then hosts it for all internal machines. Right now that system is unable to download the update because of the certificate error. I guess it will need to be modified to download the full version when it changes instead.

You can manually download FileZilla from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php
