Release Notes
=============
Known Issue: Re/Naming a host to an all numeric name will cause the host to not function.
Note that changes to users and hosts take effect on the next
login of that user.
ODBC User DLL
------------------------
Known Issue: There is a memory leak in earlier versions of the MS Jet ODBC driver when using an Access (.mdb) database. We recommend using the latest MDAC and MS Jet versions. Currently MDAC v2.7 and MS Jet version 4.0 service pack 5.
Download MDAC v2.7 here. Please read MDAC v2.7's documentation prior to installing.
http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm#27RTMinfo
The ODBC User DLL now supports 64-bit integers. It you try to assign a user Max disk space larger than a 32-bit integer and your database does not support 64-bit integers it will roll-back to the previous value. Some databases use the field type of bigint to handle 64-bit integers, please refer to your databases documentation for a proper field type.
SSL Support
-------------------
1. Install WS_FTP server. The SSL DLL, default key, and default certificate should be installed.
2. Open a connection to the server with an SSL enabled FTP client. DO NOT
autologin. Once the open has been done, issue the quote AUTH SSL (or AUTH TLS-P) command, the server will then wait for SSL negotiation from the client. Once this is completed, you have a secure data channel and control channel. The control channel will remain secure, but the data channel may be secured or un-secured on the fly with the PROT command:
PROT C
PROT P
PROT C is to clear the data channel.
PROT P is to secure the data channel.
3. Once the AUTH command is successful, login using USER and
PASS and all data sent will be secure.
Remote Management
--------------------
1. In the installation directory there is a sub directory of "WS_FTP Manager Install". Copy all the files in this directory to the computer you want to be able to manage this install and run
mgr_inst.exe.
2. This will install the FTP Manager and the Log analyzer on the computer.
Changes in 3.14
----------------
-- Added IP Address check on PASV connections when 3rd party transfers are disabled to verify the connection is from the same IP Address as the control channel.
-- Changed Default setting to deny 3rd Party Transfers when a host is first created.
Changes in 3.13
----------------
-- Removed unused Security Directory field from system configuration property page in Server Manager.
-- Corrected CERT buffer overflow in SSLSVC.DLL.
Changes in 3.12
----------------
-- Fixed problem with using NT file and directory permissions when service is run as a user other than SYSTEM.
-- Fixed buffer overrun in CPWD command.
-- Corrected crash when a virtual folder in a listing points to an invalid destination.
Changes in 3.11
----------------
-- Host top directory is created independent of the create user folders flag.
-- Delete permissions now required for overwriting a file in a virtual folder for which a user already has write permission.
-- Corrected problem that inserted an extra "\" if the host top dir ends in a "\".
-- Corrected problem where the idle timer for a session was not being
reset during a file upload.
-- Corrected problem where invalid file sizes where being sent in response to a SIZE command.
-- Corrected problem where the amount of time taken for an upload was not being logged.
-- Changed wording on Add User dialog to not try and list every valid character, but instead have an error message tell the user which
character was invalid if an invalid character is used.
-- Eliminated the need to have extensions enabled to use Event Commands.
-- A closed session now resets it's current working directory so Windows will release it's lock on the folder.
