How do I specific a file path to an existing SSL certificate using Java Keytool via Windows Command

Time:04-09

I cannot find any real world examples of how to specify a path to my existing certificate in Keytool. Only documentation that states -file "path to file". How do I enter the file path? When I run this command:
keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -keystore keystore.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -alias myAlias -file C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.5\conf\SSL\my_ssl_certificate.cer

I get the error:
Illegal option: Files\Apache

Can someone please explain and provide an example of correct file path syntax? Thanks!

First make sure you’re in your jdk bin dir.

Then try again, but with the path in quotes:

keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -keystore keystore.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -alias myAlias -file “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.5\conf\SSL\my_ssl_certificate.cer”
