Title
Error: "The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect"
Problem
When XFile returns this error, it means that the SSL encrypted site to which XFile has made a request has an expired certificate. An XFile-initiated request may fail even though a similar request made by the browser would succeed, because users often have their browsers configured to ignore expired certificates. (In IE, for example, the browser's response to expired certificates can be controlled from Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Security)

XFile, on the other hand, is configured by default to cancel the transfer if a certificate is expired.
 

Solution
If you want XFile to proceed with the data transfer regardless of whether or not a site's certificate is expired, you should enable the IgnoreCertDateInvalid property of XFile's XFRequest object.

Example:

<objXFRequest>.IgnoreCertDateInvalid = True
