Syncplify Server! v6.2.25 released

Importance of this update: [HIGH]
What’s changed?
  • Upgraded the compiler to the latest version, which comes with many fixes in the compiler’s standard library
  • Greatly improved performance when joining a new node to create a new HA (high-availability) deployment or to add a node to an existing one
  • When using LDAP Groups, the JWT is now correctly created for the individual username that actually logged in, instead of the group name
  • VFS (Virtual File System) soft and hard quotas are now expressed in SI units, just like every other {X}byte value everywhere else in the software
  • Fixed FTPD (all FTP protocols) login/logout configurable messages functionality
  • Fixed internal DNS resolver which could not resolve certain FQDNs
  • Tiny minor/cosmetic bug-fixes here and there in the WebClient! UI

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.

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
