Syncplify Server! v6.2.4 released 🚨

Importance of this update: HIGHEST
Fixed
  • A deeply nested bug in the FTP(E/S) protocol handler could have allowed a cleverly crafted attack to cause a DoS in this particular protocol subsystem; all other protocol handlers (Shell, SCP, SFTP, HTTPS, …) would still be functioning just fine – now this risk has been averted

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.
