Matthias, If I understand what I'm reading in the (sometimes arcane) docs in order to use SSL/TLS I need to generate a Private Key and a Certificate. I've generated the Key and will shortly try generating a self-signed Certificate. I will then try doing FTPeS using one of my website builder applicat...

I think I will be a bit clearer about what I'm doing as it may elicit additional responses. I'm technically inclined (programming for decades) but ignorant with respect to website hosting and related services.

In the Cocoa universe there exists a framework called Sparkle. It allows the embedding of a self-updating capability within an application. If you've used many applications you've seen it in action (even if you don't realize it). It's a great framework for Cocoa. It's free and worthy of support (I'm...
