The certificate is not assigned to FTP site in IIS after securing Plesk with Let’s Encrypt

Symptoms

• Plesk server was secured with a Let's Encrypt certificate via Tools & Settings > SSL/TLS Certificates > + Let's Encrypt button

• The FTP site in IIS is still using the default self-signed certificate, as can be seen in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > Sites > server's IP address > FTP SSL Settings:

  

Cause

This is expected behavior. Plesk does not secure FTP sites on Windows.

Installing Let's Encrypt certificate for FTP sites is yet to be implemented in Plesk.

2. Select a certificate from the dropdown list in SSL/TLS certificate section:

   

3. Click OK

Warning: the certificate for FTP site will not be auto-renewed, it should be renewed manually
