Syncplify Server! v6.2.19 released

Importance of this update: HIGH
What’s changed?
  • A bug in our implementation of the support for the mget command used by the standard Linux FTP client has been fixed, wildcards are now supported correctly – other protocols (SFTP, SCP, WebClient!, …) were not affected, this bug only affected our implementation of the FTP protocol

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.

Syncplify Server! v6.2.7 released

Importance of this update: NORMAL
What’s changed?
  • All places where you can select a VFS (user’s home, virtual folders, …) now present you with a searchable drop-down, so you can easily filter and find what you need even when you have hundreds or thousands of VFSs
  • You can now use special characters in usernames and passwords for SFTP type VFSs
  • A possible delayed FTPS (and FTPES) certificate validation error has been fixed
  • OCSP stapling now correctly re-staples X.509 certificate if/when previous stapling expires
  • Occasionally erroneous count of concurrent connections per user has now been fixed
  • Tentative fix for Azure “directory placeholder” bug
  • Fix for the NLST command in the FTP(E/S) protocol handler

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)

Syncplify Server! v6.1.2 released ☝️

Importance of this update: SIGNIFICANT
Fixed
  • Validation of the password fields in the WebClient! UI for users to be able to change their password by themselves
Improved
  • Sanitization of virtual site configuration now can also automatically fix most incorrect FTP(E/S) data-port and passive port-range bindings (after we found out that a surprisingly high number of our customers were running old V4/V5 with incorrect FTP(E/S) bindings causing all sorts of problems)
