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

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! v6.2.11 released

Importance of this update: HOT-FIX (for HA)
What’s changed?
  • Fixed a problem that prevented logging into the SuperAdmin UI of a newly added node to an HA (high-availability) deployment – this bug only and exclusively affected secondary HA nodes, those running Syncplify Server! v6 as a standalone single-node server were never affected by it

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)

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.

  • Multiple WebClient! shared objects (files/directories) can now be accessed concurrently in different tabs/windows in the same browser process
  • Added support for “subject alternative names” in our SNI implementation
  • Added a ton of trace-level logging for LDAP queries

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.

Heterogeneous (cross-system) high-availability

Just a quick update to let everyone know that Syncplify Server! v6 is going to support heterogeneous high-availability deployments.

What’s that?

That’s when you have two or more nodes (machines or VMs) running Syncplify Server!, all acting as a single larger SFTP server… and they are heterogeneous because (unlike most competitors) in our design each node can have a different operating system.

Yes, you got that right: you can have, for example, a 2-node high-availability (HA) set with one node running on Windows and the other node running on Linux.
