Software Update: FileZilla Server 1.2.0 rc1

Version 1.2.0 of the open source FTP server FileZilla Server is in development and a release candidate 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. Previously, the program was only available for Windows, but now also for Linux and macOS. The complete changelog for this release looks like this:

New features:

• Created Debian and macOS packages
• Introduced more finegrained access controls for the mountpoints

Bug fixes and minor changes:

• MSW: Disallow files and directories ending on space or dot
• If a user gets disabled, corresponding sessions are now kicked
• Let’s Encrypt certificates are now only renewed if in use.
• The UI now lets you edit users info even if they’re disabled.
• Fixed support for UNC pathames on Windows
• Fixed a few regressions
• Autoban now shares state across login sessions, which makes it work as intended.
• The UI now clearly shows in the log whenever it has connected with the FileZilla FTP server.
