- Click Next.
- Click Browse to change the file type to All Files (*.*).
- Locate the downloaded root certificate (a ca.pem file) and click Open. Then, click Next.
You must change the file type to All Files (*.*) because .pem is not a standard certificate extension name.

Importing the Root Certificate to a Linux Server
You can use a connection tool (such as WinSCP or PuTTY) to upload the certificate to any directory on a Linux server.
