Working on a command-line Windows installer

We’ve been made aware that some of our Syncplify Server! customers use Windows Server (2016/2019/2022) operating systems without the so-called “Desktop Experience”.

For these users we are specifically developing a command-line version of our installer, very similar to the one that already exists for Linux, through which you’ll be able to install, perform maintenance (update/upgrade), and uninstall Syncplify Server! in such environments.


Syncplify Server! v6.0.12 released

Today we released Syncplify Server! v6.0.12; here’s what’s new and improved in this version.

Importance of this update: IMPORTANT
Fixed
  • Internal refresh timeout for the Dashboard (Admin UI) has been fine-tuned
  • TLS config for FTP(E/S) now works as expected when it is set as “Disabled”
  • Sharing objects via WebClient! is now subject to the correct set of permissions
  • Fixed bug in enforcement of Protector’s behavior that could lead to wrongful block-listing of legitimate client IP addresses

Upgrading from v6.0.x is a simple and fairly automatic process: simply download the latest version from the official download page, and install it over the existing version, all of your settings and license will be kept.

If, instead, you’re upgrading from an older (v4/v5) version, you find the upgrade instructions in our knowledge base.

Syncplify Server! v6.0.11 released

Importance of this update: IMPORTANT
Fixed
  • The Windows version of the installer is now compatible with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 (we had to give up the “dark theme” of the installer because Win11 and Win2022 don’t support it, so don’t be surprised if this installer looks “light-colored”)
  • Some clients may cause an “unexpected EOF” false-positive during long file transfers, our software no longer falls for it now
  • Authentication of LDAP (Active Directory) user profiles now works as expected in WebClient!

Upgrading from v6.0.x is a simple and fairly automatic process: simply download the latest version from the official download page, and install it over the existing version, all of your settings and license will be kept.
