Software Update: Serv-U 6.2.0.0

Rhino Software has updated its ftp server software Serv-U to version 6.2.0.0. This small and easy-to-use program has enough options on board to also satisfy the professional. It can be tried as a Corporate Edition for the first 30 days. During that time there is an unlimited number of configurable domains, users per domain and simultaneous connections, and the possibility to set up secure connections (SSL/TLS). After this trial period, the program continues as a Personal Edition with somewhat limited functionality, including only a maximum of two domains and five user accounts. This release includes support for UPnP, which automatically configures NAT routers. The full changelog looks like this:

Features:

• Added support for Asian character sets. Serv-U now properly handles Asian characters in paths and file names on Asian language Windows.
• Added support for “Universal Plug and Play” (UPnP) to automatically configure NAT routers to allow incoming connections.
• Added support to add Serv-U to the Windows Firewall exception list.
• Changed “Start Administrator” menu option to be bold, since this is the default tray icon (ie, double click action on the tray).
• Many enhancements and optimizations throughout to use MS Visual C++ 2003 .NET compiler.
• Converted tray icon to be built by MS Visual C++ compiler.
• Converted from using Wise installer to using Inno Setup, resulting in smaller installation executable (approximately 33% smaller).
• Added %ServerVersionShort and %ServerVersionLong keywords to the system parameters list.
• Added additional command line parameters for ServUDaemon.exe. See “Engine Overview” topic in the Help documentation for more information.
• Optimized help documentation images, reducing help doc size by 50% without noticeable image quality degradation.
• Updated ServUPerfCount.dll to build with MS Visual C++ 2003 .NET compiler.
• Added version information to resources for all .EXE and .DLL files.
• Updated Version.txt style to be consistent with other RhinoSoft.com products.
• Removed McAfee warning dialog from installer (added in version 6.0.0.1 release).
• Increased automatic server shutdown time from 15 seconds to 30 seconds to compensate for longer shutdown times due to UPnP.
• Added the Serv-U Daemon build date to the global system log.

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected daemon string that reported trial usage in the log as “Professional Edition.” Serv-U operates as the “Corporate Edition” during trials.
• Corrected a minor memory leak at shutdown only. This memory leak did not have any affect on Serv-U itself while running.
