Is it just flat out impossible to install the necessary files from Cloudflare SSL cert on Network solutions?

I now have a file for an origin certificate and private key. On Network Solutions, I see no way of generating a CSR. There is no documentation I can find out this, except for NS’s partner program, which looks to do nothing with how an ordinary customer’s NS works. Support and they are just clueless.

When I ftp, I see a backup, cgi-bin and htdocs folder. The cgi-bin just has 3 files: global.dat, php.dat and fileman.cgi.

I should also add that there seems to be no way to SSH for Network Solutions.

I feel awful because I assured my client I’d be able to get them a simple SSL cert working without paying Network Solution’s ridiculous $80/year cost.

Thanks for the reply. It looks to be for either the partner’s program, or extremely outdated. The cpanel these days looks nothing like that. The SSL button does absolutely nothing in the cpanel when you click it. I think this only ever goes to a new page if you buy an SSL cert from Network Solutions. I’m surprised it doesn’t open up a window offering that. So there’s no way for me to progress.
