Software Update: FileZilla Server 0.9.42

A new version of the open source FTP server FileZilla Server has been released. FileZilla Server is a small and powerful ftp server that includes support for fxp (sending files from one ftp server to another), secure connections (ssl and tls), gss authentication and Kerberos encryption. Unlike the client version, which is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, the server version is only developed for Windows, albeit not very actively. Version 0.9.42 is the last version to support Windows XP and includes the following changes and improvements:

New features:

• Last version ever to support Windows XP
• More verbose replies to the transfer commands

Bug fixes and minor changes:

• Fix an endless loop if a client closes a connection using the QUIT command while a speed limit was in effect on a low-latency connection
• Fixed a rare memory leak
• Correct handling of 0.0.0.0/0 in IP address filters
• Use UTF8 in the distinguished names of created certificates
