Syncplify Server! v6.2.0 released 🔥

Importance of this update: HIGHEST
Improved
  • Removed dependency on nssm.exe to reduce the number of false-positives from certain antivirus and antimalware software: all components of the Windows version of our software now run as native Windows system service (all Linux versions were already native system services)

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! v6.1.11 released 🚨

Importance of this update: VERY HIGH
Fixed
  • Editing of bindings for HA (high-availability) deployments now works as expected even when one of the nodes was not initialized in the first place
New
  • The new SNI implementation that was introduced about a month ago in the Web/REST service has now been extended and incorporated into the “worker” service as well; this makes certificate management far easier, and comes with the additional advantage of not having to restart the system service(s) anymore when you update/change your X.509 certificate(s)
