LFTP fatal error: certificate verification: unable to get local issuer certificate

Hello,

I am not new to linux but I am new to opensuse. I have had the above error when connecting to this same server on my other PC running linux mint, and so I followed the directions of many posts elsewhere online and connected with openssl (using the command “openssl s_client -connect [server]:21 -starttls ftp”), copied the certificate, and put it in the file “/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt” then put this reference to the file:

set ssl:ca-file "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"

in /etc/lftp.conf. On that other PC this worked, but on the machine running opensuse I still get the “unable to get local issuer certificate” error.

Is this file still there? This directory is managed automatically by update scripts, its content is normally generated from common source.
