Add support for for generating remote shared server Certificates about certify HOT 4 CLOSED

The validation can really only happen on the remote server, not on your local machine. So why would you want to generate your certificate locally?

What you describe sounds more like you'd want to use the official or diafygi/acme-tiny client instead. You're using Linux, so why have a Windows GUI?

I'm not going to completely rule this out, management of certs on remote machines (windows or linux) is a future possiblity

There are various tools available as i've searched now like "letsencrypt-win-simple". This is also windows based solution and offers command line options to validate remote server by offering FTP,WebDAV like options.
I guess this is very common situation wherein people are PHP developer and use XAMPP on windows for local development. And use (prefer) linux remote shared server for production web hosting. In such scenario a windows tool which can offer:

1. Adding remote server (FTP, WebDAV) through GUI. - helps in uploading validation file to remote server. (to .well-known folder)
2. Obtaining certs locally
3. Uploading certificate to remote server (or can be kept locally and then uploaded manually).
4. Auto renewal.
   Etc.
   I hope @genodeftest you got my point.

Implemented in v5 with Deployment Tasks (export can be local or via SSH etc). Remote scripts are also supported (to run service restart commands etc).
