Syncplify Server! v6.2.21 released 🔥

Importance of this update: VERY HIGH
What’s changed?
  • The Golang standard library was updated to address a yet-to-be-disclosed CVE that could potentially affect SSH/SFTP services, this release incorporates such updates to keep your server safe
  • Importing old V4/V5 backups now works a little better even when such backups contain errors and misconfigurations (some of them are addressed by applying sensible default settings)
  • Parameters (see this KB article) can now be used in all Virtual File Systems, and not only in “Disk” VFSs as it used to be

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.

Thank you all for trusting our software with your secure file transfers!

  • Better HTTPS/WebClient! default values are also used now when creating a new Virtual Site
  • Fixed the list of host key algorithms returned to SSH/SFTP clients, now it won’t include algorithms for keys your server doesn’t have
  • Upgraded the compiler to the most recent version to capture several fixes and improvements in its standard library
