Syncplify Server! v6.2.32 released

Importance of this update: [HOT-FIX]
What’s changed?
  • Fixed the gzip log rotator, it now correctly gzips log files upon rotation to save space, and doesn’t leave zombie files on disk
  • Slightly improved the logging of users’ PKI authentication phases

IMPORTANT NOTE: those who are running the “worker” system service under a different account (not System or LocalSystem) will need to re-configure the service to run under such account after upgrading from any version number <= 6.1.12)

Upgrading from v6.x.y 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.

Thank you all for trusting our software with your secure file transfers!

Syncplify Server! Users: Rest Easy, You’re Safe from the XZ Vulnerability

Heads up, admins! A recently discovered vulnerability in the XZ library has system administrators scrambling to patch their SFTP servers. This vulnerability could grant unauthorized access to affected Linux systems – not a fun situation.

But here’s some good news for Syncplify Server! users: you can breathe easy. Syncplify Server! does not utilize the XZ library, meaning your SFTP (and SSH2) server is completely unaffected by this specific exploit.

At Syncplify, security is paramount. We understand the critical role secure file transfer plays in your organization, and we take every precaution to ensure your data remains protected. This isn’t the first time Syncplify has proven its commitment to security:

  • Our software remained unscathed by the Heartbleed bug in 2014.
  • The Terrapin exploit discovered in 2023 posed no threat to Syncplify users.
  • And now, you can add the XZ library vulnerability to the list of non-issues for Syncplify Server! users.

This focus on security is what makes Syncplify the trusted choice for system administrators worldwide.
