FileZilla FTP Server Updated
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2021 10:57 pm
FileZilla FTP Server updated to 1.0.
Please test your FTP login to make sure it still works (Website and Game Server).I had to make some changes to passive mode to get the connection to work correctly. After that it was fine.
It is cool that it can use lets Encrypt which is a free ssl certificate provider and it uses the ACME protocol. Basically it is able to renew itself once a month as Let's Encrypt doesn't allow SSL certs to last longer than a month. So instead of manually installing one each month (forgetting so no one can login securely) it can do it automatically in the background. I have yet to start using this as if it isn't done right then you can't login at all. But it has been 2 to 3 years since the last FTP Server update. So it is nice to see movement again. Also they updated the server from a 32 bit software to a 64 bit software.
Release notes.
2021-09-14 - FileZilla Server 1.0.0 released
New features:
Support for Let's Encrypt and other certificate providers using ACME
Improved display of log messages in the administration interface
Bugfixes and minor changes:
Changed session ticket/PSK generation when using TLS 1.3, new tickets are now only sent on the control connection
Changes to settings such as passive mode ports now affect connected sessions
Deleting a user now affects connected sessions logged in as that user
Fixed assorted crashes
