SFTPPlus Release 3.29.0

Thu 11 January 2018 | general release

We are pleased to announce the latest release of SFTPPlus version 3.29.0.

New Features

  • An event with ID 30079 is now emitted when an SFTP location sends a banner message during authentication. [#4293]
  • The HTTP file transfer service now supports the HEAD method for folders which return OK when the folder exists. [#4493]
  • The HTTP event handler now sends the local timestamp for the generated event. Previously, the event was sent without a timestamp and the event timestamp was supposed to be created by the PHP WebAdmin. To take advantage of this change, you will need PHP WebAdmin version 1.9.0 or newer. [#4577]

Defect Fixes

  • An error is no longer produced when the source location for a SFTP transfer is a Bitvise SSH server. [#4297]
  • An internal server error is no longer produced by the HTTP file transfer service when a file or a folder is accessed with an unsupported method. [server-side][http] [#4493]
  • The HTTP event handler now sends the IP and PORT of the remote peer associated with the event. Previously, this detail was omitted and PHP WebAdmin was using the address of the SFTPPlus server instead of the client connected to the server. [#4577]
  • The limit of pending files to be transferred for a single transfer was raised from 5 000 files to 100 000 files. [client-side] [#4586]

Trial versions last for 30 days after a major release. For example, if version 3.xx.x was released on 01/01/2018 then the trial version will last until 01/31/2018.

You can maintain your server configuration data simply by copying the configuration file over the configuration file in the full version.

As for SSH keys, SSL certificates and other items initialized by yourself or SFTPPlus, you can also use these providing that the locations remain the same as what is already in the configuration file during the evaluation period.

We are pleased to announce the latest release of SFTPPlus version 3.26.0.

New Features

Defect Fixes

  • An internal server error is no longer emitted for long uploads taking more than 15 minutes to complete over HTTP/HTTPS. [server-side][http][https] [#2533]
  • Stopping the SFTPPlus during a transfer which is pending a reconnection, the stop procedure is no longer delayed until all reconnection retries are exhausted. [client-side] [#2656]
  • The WebDAV location will detect changes into folders, when the letter cases in the configured path does not match the cases on the server. [client-side][http][https] [#3945-1]
  • The WebDAV location can now get members and attributes for paths containing the + (plus) character, as well as detecting changes into folders with such names. [client-side][http][https] [#3945]
  • When the destination of a transfer is changed, the Local Manager will not mark the transfer as requiring a restart. Unless the transfer is restarted, the files are transferred using the destination defined a start time. [client-side] [#4245]
  • The event with ID 10079 was updated to show the reason of the failure. [ftp][ftps][server-side] [#4326]
