Syncplify Server! v6.2.27 released

Importance of this update: [ROUTINE UPDATE]
What’s changed?
  • Upgraded some package dependencies to incorporate various bug-fixes in external libraries
  • Fixed a bug in parametric VFS that occasionally caused directories to be created on physical storage with names enclosed in square brackets
  • Significantly improved the way files are downloaded via WebClient!: downloads now use less memory and are much faster (other protocols like FTP and SFTP are unchanged)

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.

  • 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

Syncplify Server! v6.2.12 released

Importance of this update: SECURITY HOT-FIX
What’s changed?
  • Fixed a vulnerability in one of the libraries used by the web UIs (SuperAdmin, Admin, and WebClient); for the record, this vulnerability was only exploitable in npm (node.js) so within the context of our software was non-exploitable, but we figured it would be better to update that 3rd-party library to its newer and bug-free version anyway.
  • Upgraded Go compiler, standard library and toolchain to the latest 1.21.2

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.

Importance of this update: NORMAL

  • Fixed validation rules during password self-change in WebClient!
New

  • Added StatFileSystemObject() function to the scripting engine to extract the “stat” record of directories and files on any local file system
