Coming soon: built-in antivirus scanning

Scanning uploaded/downloaded files for viruses was already possible in Syncplify Server!, but it required:

• using a staging VFS to temporarily store uploaded files

• writing a script to run the scanner against such files via the AV’s CLI

• scripting the logic to move healthy files to their final destination VFSs after the scan is complete

• doing the same three things in reverse for downloads

When Server! v8.14.0 is release, all of that will be a thing of the past. If your antivirus engine supports the ICAP standard (almost every antivirus on the planet does!) integrating it into your Syncplify Server! becomes a simple matter of tuning some configuration settings in the Admin UI of your virtual site.

Supports multiple AV engines simultaneously or first-available

From there on, every upload/download is automatically scanned (and rejected when a positive detection is returned by the antivirus engine).

Content scanning works with all protocols and all clients: SFTP, FTP(E/S), HTTPS (WebClient!), and even for files uploaded/downloaded via REST API.

Well… one more feature to look forward to. 😊
