on my server:

CREATE CERTIFICATE Test2009

ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y'

WITH SUBJECT = 'Protect North West',

EXPIRY_DATE = '01/01/2010';

BACKUP CERTIFICATE Test2009 TO FILE = 'Test2009.txt'

on third party server

CREATE CERTIFICATE Test2009

FROM FILE = 'Test2009.txt' --using full path

this last piece of code errors on third party server but works on a different server within my domian
