Description

The CA_CERTIFICATES option specifies the location of the PEM-formatted trusted Certificate Authority (CA) X.509 certificates file. 

The file specified by this option can contain several CA certificates concatenated together.  This allows UFTP to verify the identity of any number of FTP servers that may present public keys signed by various entities. 

This option is only used when the transfer protocol is FTPS (implicit FTPS) or when the transfer protocol is FTP with SSL support enabled (explicit FTPS).
