I'm writing an application that syncs files over an FTP site. Right now it's working by connecting through regular FTP, but now our IT guys want to set this up over a secure FTPS connection.
They provided me with a *.cr_ certificate file. If I open the file in notepad I see something like this (but with real keys not foobar obviously).

How can I use this certificate file to connect to the FTPS server to upload and download files? Forgive me but I'm very new to anything involving transferring files over a network, secure connections, certificates, public keys, private keys, etc...etc...
I think I'd want to use an FtpWebRequest object and set the EnableSsl property to true. But I'm not not sure where this certificate file comes into play.
