Re: USG internal storage wipe

With help from ZyXel pointing me the right way, I was able to delete the offending certificate through FTP. All good now.

Care to write a how to or faq, so others who create a certificate with blank name have a way out........... ?

It's very simple. Luckily the Trusted certificate store is available via FTP as cert/trusted directory

brano@droopy ~ $ ftp 192.168.10.1
Connected to 192.168.10.1.
