The user authenitcation is always a sticking point, and I'm not sure how the certificates work with FTP, but there are folks in the ESG Federation who can answer those questions. I use a program called "myproxyclient" to automatically renew my certificates. As for the web interface, I believe they recommend Firefox as the best browser to use. <div>--Jennifer<br><div><br><div><div>On Nov 16, 2012, at 11:11 AM, Haibin Li wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi Mira,<br><br>Thanks.
