Software Update: FileZilla Server 1.0.1

Version 1.0 of the open source FTP server FileZilla Server was released last week and a successor has already appeared. 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 also available for Linux and macOS, the server version is only developed for Windows, but not very active. Since version 0.9.59, the following changes and improvements have been made:
