April 1st, 2010Features:
· Added functionality for keyboard arrow keys to toggle focus between buttons for FTP Voyager JV confirmation dialogs.
· Changed data socket shutdown to be more forgiving of FTPS clients that do not perform SSL shutdown correctly.

· Added a drop down list of available IP addresses in the Listener dialog and in the Domain Creation Wizard.
· Added the ability to specify %HOME%, %USER%, or %DOMAIN_HOME% as part of the SSH public key path.
· Added additional Domain Administrator restrictions so a domain administrator cannot change the following limits: "MaxDomainSessions", "MaxDomainUploadRate, "MaxDomainDownloadRate"
· Changed configuration, account configuration, startup log, and data files location to "C:ProgramData" (ALLUSERSPROFILE environment variable) in Windows Vista and above on new Serv-U installations that are installed in "C:Program Files" only. This is required on Windows 7+ when UAC is in effect.
· Removed some unused HTTP files.
· Removed some Server and Domain session management code that was duplicated elsewhere. This change will save a small amount of RAM for servers with many concurrent connections.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected "Cookie Buffer Overflow Vulnerability" (Secunia SA37228).
· Corrected a bug where Serv-U could crash after disabling an active user.
· Corrected a bug where user accounts whose login ID ended with a period character were not being shown in the users grid.
· Corrected a bug where downloading 0-byte files using FTPS could cause the data channel to be disconnected during SSL negotiation causing 0-byte downloads to intermittently fail.
· Corrected a bug where the Advanced Directory Access rule password was being saved incorrectly when using a database. When using MS SQL the bug would appear as a lost directory access rule. When using other databases, the password would just be invalid; if using these advanced settings and storing to a database, modification of the user record would cause improper access to the directory access rule. This problem only occurred on MS SQL 2005+ because MS SQL throws an error instead of truncating the value.
· Corrected a bug when saving encrypted strings to database or .Archive file, Serv-U would archive values even when the encrypted string was empty.
· Corrected a bug in the Web Client where the "Playlist" button would not work when in "Search" mode.
· Corrected a bug where user lookups would occur after a session's login ID was cleared. This resulted in unnecessary user and database user lookups.
· Corrected a bug where database users' statistics were not being loaded correctly after loading data from the database.
· Corrected a bug when FTP Voyager JV, the .jar files were being downloaded every time FTP Voyager JV was started. Now, when unchanged, Java uses its cached copy of the FTP Voyager JV .jar files.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV, where the Last-Modified timestamp of a file that was uploaded from a non-English operating system would fail.
· Corrected a bug in the Web Client where focus was being lost when using the keyboard to navigate the file list.
· Corrected a bug when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 and lower when using a database domain, installation / conversion would cause the installer to crash.
· Corrected a bug when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 and lower when using a database domain, group membership for users would not be imported under certain rare circumstances.
· Corrected a bug when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 and lower when using a database domain, import would not work correctly if the old table names matched the new default table names in Serv-U 7+.
· Corrected a database bug when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 or lower, and using the table names "User" or "Group" would cause the upgrade to fail.
· Corrected a database bug where daily session counts were not being written to the database.
· Corrected a bug where Tray messages boxes (confirmation, error, warning) would be displayed without text in all languages.
· Corrected an SFTP logging bug where the SSH_FXP_REALPATH was not being logged, just the reply.
· Corrected an SSH2 problem where Serv-U was not responding to the SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST command.
· Corrected a user group membership problem when changing group membership for a user that is connected, certain variables applying to limits, were not being properly adjusted. For example limiting access by IP address.
· Corrected a bug where passwords that were stored in an unencrypted form (i.e., clear-text) were not checked letter case sensitive.
· Corrected a bug where users created with the User Wizard were being stored without encryption.
· Corrected a Windows 7 UAC problem where Serv-U was unable to communicate with the tray application to identify Serv-U status and enable tray / engine communication.
· Corrected a problem, introduced in Serv-U 7.0, where the STOU FTP command would append a digit to a specified file name even when the specified file name doesn't exist, an inconsistency with Serv-U versions
October 14th, 2009Features:
· Added support for the 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 browser on Windows Vista 64-bit.

· Corrected a problem when starting Serv-U as a service, the service initialization could fail (timeout) when a very large number of domains were defined.
· Corrected a bug where French and Italian result strings were being interpreted incorrectly by the browser. In the case of the Web Client, an error message would appear for French and Italian once a file began uploading.
· Fixed a bug in the User's Group Membership dialog where scrolling would not work correctly when the number of groups in the list exceeded the viewable area of the list.
· Corrected an SSL/TLS bug where Serv-U would not recognize a closed socket after calling SSL_read() from OpenSSL.
July 21st, 2009Features:
· Updated Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Russian strings.
· Added a new Password Limit to use either one-way (more secure, less functional) or two-way (less secure, more functional) password encryption when storing passwords to disk.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected the FTP FEAT response to comply with RFC 2389 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2389) so that the listed features are always preceded by a single space, and never the response code. This deviation from the RFC was introduced in Serv-U 7.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV, introduced in version 8.1.0.1, where FTP Voyager JV was not saving the file list column order between sessions.
· Corrected a bug where a Swedish string warning about the trial expiring could cause the Tray application to crash. Only Swedish installations were affected.
· Corrected a Web Client problem with the Safari and Opera browsers, when downloading files with spaces in the file name, Safari and Opera would incorrectly use for spaces as part of the file name instead of the actual file name.
· Corrected a bug where it was impossible to change if passwords are encrypted on disk or not. Introduced in 8.1.0.1.
July 8th, 2009Features:
· Added read-only administrator support. Two new administrator user types have been added, "Read-Only System Administrator" and "Read-Only Domain Administrator".
· Substantially increased internal HTTP parsing to improve the speed of the Management Console and Web Client.
· Changed localization (translations) internally to use individual string files instead of separate resource DLLs.
· Converted all ReadMe_??.txt files translations to UTF-8.
· Eliminated License.txt from the installation, License.rtf is the exclusive licensing file instead.
· Added support for UNICODE / UTF-8 passwords. This allows passwords to be extended beyond the ASCII characters. NOTE: some FTP clients do not use UTF-8 for S/Key encoding and therefore may fail.
· Changed the RhinoSoft.com company logo in the "Program Information" tab to the new 3D version.
· Changed certificate creation to use UTF-8 allowing certificates to contain any character.
· Changed certificate viewing to decode UTF-8 encoded certificates.
· Added the ability for the browse dialog in the Management Console to use the specified directory path as the starting point.
· Added the ability to export users to CSV (comma separated value) files to complement Serv-U-Setup.exe's ability to import. See the Serv-U Knowledge Base for full details.
· Increased the width of the path fields so that space is more effectively used as a result of the size reduction of the "Browse" button in 8.0.0.7.
· Improved the availability for user system variables for events that do not have an associated login (e.g., User Delete and User Create).
· Improved browser error message handling retrieving result codes server-side instead of client side. Saves bandwidth and memory allowing only needed messages to be transferred to the browser.
· Improved numeric field verification in the management console to provide more specific information about invalid entries.
· Improved file and directory path field verification in the management console to disallow invalid characters.
· Changed the group membership to a side-by-side list to make adding and removing membership much more efficient.
· Added support for the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to identify the actual IP addresses of client computers. This is primarily set by proxy servers and load balancers.
· Added cipher information to the active session monitor grid and "Spy & Chat" dialog.
· Changed SSH login so that the "none" login request, used by most SFTP clients to determine the supported authentication modes, doesn't cause an event to fire and extra entries added to logs.
· Hide the "Create Directory" button in the Web Client if the logged-in user does not have any directory creation permissions.
· Added a cancel button for FTP Voyager JV's logout dialog. This allows the user to go back into FTP Voyager JV.
· When launching FTP Voyager JV for the first time, the column widths expand evenly to fill the available space.
· Optimized FTP Voyager JV downloads to use less server-side RAM when a user is logged in.
· Changed the format for FTP Voyager JV error codes for easier debugging.
· Added extra support information to FTP Voyager JV's launch page that responds to the Apple Java Update 1.6_13 for Macintosh machines. This update can break the automatic startup of the "Java Web Start" application which opens "jnlp" files.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a bug where multi-byte path names would not be interpreted correctly in some cases.
· Corrected an HTTP bug where a user could bypass the password requirement gaining normal access as granted by the user account.
· Corrected an HTTP bug where HTTP sessions would not immediately end when Windows Authentication was enabled. The HTTP sessions would eventually timeout, however failed logins should have caused the sessions to close immediately.
· Corrected an HTTP bug when downloading a file that is actually a Virtual Path where the file name is different than the Virtual Path's file name, Serv-U would provide the actual file name to the browser when downloading instead of the Virtual Path file name.
· Corrected a bug where using IP Access rules to block access for a user (by setting the user's IP access rules) could cause Serv-U to crash.
· Corrected a help bug when viewing Japanese Management Console Help the table of contents frame was in English.
· Corrected a Macintosh Firefox problem where the "Browse" button in the upload dialog would be partially truncated.
· Corrected an FTP PASV command problem when using PASV port ranges, on some systems Serv-U could rarely run out of PASV listeners.
· Corrected a problem when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 or lower, certain configurations would not upgrade to Serv-U 8.0.
· Corrected mistakes in ReadMe.txt and License.rtf.
· Corrected a bug where email event messages were not being identified as UTF-8 even though they were encoded as UTF-8.
· Corrected a bug where certain user events (User Deleted, User Enabled, User Disabled, User Password Changed, User Password Change Failure) would not fire for the user's domain or would fire for the session's domain. Now these events are fired for the domain in which the user is defined.
· Corrected a bug in the "Do not log IP rule" dialog in the Management Console where the buttons were misaligned.
· Corrected a bug in the Management Console where dialogs could not be moved when the page was scrolled down.
· Corrected a bug where viewing a certificate could cause Serv-U crash the next time OpenSSL was used due to the inadvertent closing of the OpenSSL libraries.
· Corrected a bug in the Management Console where some dynamically loaded dialogs would not allow for text selection in input fields.
· Corrected a bug in the Management Console where the Login ID was not being URI encoded when editing the user causing editing to fail when non-ASCII characters were used.
· Corrected a bug when an email event was setup for Server Shutdown, Serv-U would not send the message. Now Serv-U waits for up-to 30 seconds to shutdown if pending email events exist.
· Corrected a event bug where execution of an external program could fail if a user was logged in as a Windows User that didn't have the proper permissions to execute that file.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) bug when the client uses SSH_FXP_OPEN to open a file, and didn't request any access permissions, Serv-U would create a 0-byte file.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) bug when the client uses SSH_FXP_OPEN to open a file, requesting both read and write permissions, Serv-U could create a 0-byte file.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) bug where Serv-U would always truncate a file when the SSH_FXF_CREAT and SSH_FXF_WRITE flags were specified to open a file. Serv-U now truncates the file only when the SSH_FXF_TRUNC flag is specified.
· Corrected a database bug; when the search value for the primary table was changed to something other than "LoginID" (for users) or "GroupName" (for user groups), updates to database records could not be performed.
· Corrected a bug where FTPS transfers could drop the last few packets of data depending on how the client uploads files.
· Corrected a Web Client bug when uploading a file, the file name was not being encoded in UTF-8 causing Serv-U to store UTF-8 encoded file names incorrectly.
· Corrected a Web Client bug where the "Home" button would not appear in the "/" directory when the user's home directory was elsewhere in the path, and the user wasn't locked in the home directory.
· Corrected a bug where users containing a comma in the Login ID could not be modified, deleted, or moved to a different user category.
· Corrected a bug where users were not being unloaded after being created. Creating many users, in one session, could cause excessive use of memory.
· Corrected a bug where administering Serv-U using a browser (i.e., remotely) and deleting the remote administrator's user account could cause Serv-U to crash. This operation is now denied.
· Corrected a directory access bug when a user is locked in the home directory, and the home directory is a drive root, the user could access directories to which permission was not granted.
· Corrected a Virtual Paths bug where Serv-U versions 6.4 and lower checked visibility of both the virtual path and the physical path, Serv-U 7.0 - 8.0 were not.
· Corrected a rename bug where the destination file or directory name could contain invalid characters and Serv-U would incorrectly report a successful rename operation.
· Corrected a bug where an invalid Windows Shortcut could cause Serv-U to fail, leaving the connection in an invalid state where the session would appear to hang. Other connections were not affected.
· Corrected a tray pop-up menu bug where, on systems running for a very long period of time, the "Themes" menu would appear only as a bar, instead of the submenu.
· Corrected an installation bug when upgrading from Serv-U 6.4 and lower and using s/key passwords. The conversion would incorrectly set this value for converted user accounts. Introduced in version 8.0.0.7 only.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where a rename of a local file that had its file extension hidden would cause the file to lose its extension.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where a Drag and Drop operation between two remote listings would fail if the user was locked into their home directory.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where the "Multiple Files/Folders Properties" dialog was failing to format numerical values.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where the "Properties" dialog would fail to show the current working directory information if nothing was selected in the listing.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV on *NIX machines where the logout confirmation dialog was too small to show all the text of the dialog.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where Windows Link (LNK) files would fail to upload if the files were dragged and dropped.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where it would try to load a Windows Look and Feel on a Linux OS.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where pressing the [PAGE_UP] and [PAGE_DOWN] keys was causing the listing to scroll one extra row.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV on Macintosh machines where the gradient colors for the Local, Remote, and Transfer tabs would be drawn outside of their boundaries.
April 7th, 2009Features:
· Updated OpenSSL libraries from 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k.
· Moved "Password Type" to the Password Limits & Settings to unclutter the main user tab.
· Changed the "Password Type" value to read "FTP Password Type" since it applies only to FTP connections.
· Changed all "Browse..." buttons to use an easy to understand graphic, like most operating systems do already.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a licensing issue with old Serv-U Home and Professional licenses.
· Corrected a problem where some SFTP clients would cause recv() on the socket to fail by improperly closing the socket.
· Corrected a bug where certain SFTP clients could cause Serv-U to crash when uploading a file either locally or on a very fast connection on a busy server.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) bug where the SSH_FXP_FSETSTAT command would fail because the file was already open.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) bug where Serv-U would close all open files when an unsupported operation was requested. This caused certain SFTP clients to be unable to upload files to Serv-U.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) logging cosmetic error where failed close operations would log the command twice, once with the specified handle, once without.
· Corrected a user statistics bug where certain values such as "Total Sessions", "Average Session Length", "Longest Session", and "Highest Number of Sessions" was inaccurate.
· Corrected an event bug where using the "Test" button would fail for email events, from within the Tray's Management Console only, when SMTP settings were not set for the server.
· Corrected a tray bug where the tray would unnecessarily wait 15 seconds after shutting down the server before exiting.
· Corrected a tray bug where clicking very quickly could cause the trial expired bubble to appear twice.
· Corrected a bug in the Management Console where a flashing cursor would be placed in a combo box when using a FireFox browser.
March 28th, 2009Features:
· Implemented more flexible licensing options.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a bug where Windows Links to directories might not allow operations on that directory or its children.
· Corrected a bug where a session's home directory may be incorrectly interpreted when the user is locked in the home directory.
· Corrected a bug where Serv-U could assume that a remote directory name such as "/temp" was the same as "D: emp" where the drive letter is the drive upon which Serv-U is installed. This only occurred when the user had full access to the machine and the user account listed drives.
· Corrected a layout issue where the HTTP login page would improperly position the login button for Finish in Firefox under Windows Vista.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where multiple directory listings would occur when navigating to a parent folder while in Thumbnails mode.
· Corrected an SFTP (via SSH2) but where Serv-U would not fully resolve Windows shortcuts as specified. Certain SFTP attributes referenced the .LNK file instead of the target, this included the file type, file attributes, and the date and times of the target.
March 26th, 2009Features:
· Added the connected server name to the FTP Voyager JV title bar.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a bug, introduced in 8.0.0.1, where UTF-8 encoding and decoding was not working correctly in all cases.
· Corrected a bug, introduced in 8.0.0.1, when using virtual hosts with any protocol, could cause garbage information to appear in the connecting domain's session list.
· Corrected a bug where clicking on the "Check for an update at www.RhinoSoft.com" link in the tray's About Dialog "Update Check" tab did not include all of the information for the license.
· Corrected a security issue where FTP Voyager JV would show drive information for users locked in their home directory and the home directory is a drive.
· Corrected a security issue where FTP Voyager JV would show drive information for virtual paths mapped directly to drives.
· Corrected a bug in the Management Console where certain languages would cause the "Login" button to expand past its containing element.
· Corrected a bug where multi-byte paths could be interpreted incorrectly. Introduced in version 8.0.0.1.
March 25th, 2009Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a bug, introduced in 8.0.0.1, where HTTP connections on a virtual host domain would never disconnect and would show garbage information in the connecting domain's session list.
March 24th, 2009Features:
· Added programmable server, domain, user, and group events to send email messages, display balloon tips, or execute third-party software (Serv-U Bronze, Silver, and Gold only).
· Added support for SFTP versions 5 & 6 (via SSH2), in addition to SFTP versions 3 and 4.
· Added support for SFTP (versions 5 & 6) attribute bits to help identify file and directory types such as read-only, system, hidden, archive, sparse, compressed, and encrypted.
· Added sub-second support for SFTP (versions 5 & 6).
· Added the ability to set file types via SFTP (version 5 & 6), read-only, system, hidden, and archive.
· Added the ability through SFTP versions 5 & 6 to get and set file times to sub-second resolution.
· Added the ability to specify the maximum SFTP version to use for users, groups, domains, or the server.
· Added support for substantially faster and more efficient SFTP file transfers for clients supporting SFTP versions 5 & 6. Clients may perform reads and writes to files of sizes greater than previous SFTP versions (34,000 bytes).
· Added support for "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1" for SSH key exchange.
· Added support for "hmac-sha1-96" for SSH MACs.
· Added the ability to change user passwords through SSH2.
· Added the ability to specify a PEM file for SSL Certificate Authority (CA) certificates (Serv-U Bronze, Silver, and Gold only).
· Automatically redirect from HTTP to HTTPS when a secure connection is required and a corresponding HTTPS listener is found.
· Added a connection limit to ban an IP address for a period of time after a session has timed out. This limit is available for users, groups, domains, and the entire server.
· Added user and group connection limits to enable or disable individual protocols; FTP/FTPS, HTTP/HTTPS, and SFTP (via SSH2).
· Added millisecond resolution to FTP file times for FTP/FTPS MLST/MLSD results.
· Added millisecond resolution when setting file times via FTP (MDTM, MFMT, MFCT, and MFF).
· Added an option to the FTP MKD/XMKD commands to enable creation of parent directories if they do not exist.
· Added the ability to set a maximum file size for uploads for users, groups, domains, or the server.
· Added new system variables; $Protocol, $OldPathName, $OldFileName, $LocalPathName, $LocalFileName, $OldLocalPathName, $OldLocalFileName, $DomainName, $DomainDescription, $FileSizeFmt, $FileSizeKB, $TimeRemaining, $NoFormatActualTransferBytes
· Updated OpenSSL libraries from 0.9.8i to 0.9.8j.
· Added support for UTF-8 encoded message files (welcome message, directory change messages, etc.).
· Changed self-signed SSL certificate support to use SHA-1 instead of MD5 for added security.
· Created a new default self-signed SSL certificate using SHA-1 instead of MD5 for added security.
· Changed the installer to install the default SSL certificates even when they already exist in an installation.
· Changed the logging path for HTTP_LIST to show the file name as well as the directory when listing a specific file.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a DOS vulnerability where FTP could become saturated for a long period of time before allowing new connections. This vulnerability would not cause a crash, but would lock the server for a long period of time.
· Corrected a directory traversal vulnerability where it was possible to create a directory outside of a locked user's home directory. All protocols were affected.
· Corrected a logging bug where HTTP logouts for a single session would appear twice in the log. Introduced in version 7.4.0.0.
· Corrected an FTP login bug where passwords starting with a '-' character would not allow logins. This was due to the compatibility with certain older UNIX systems where specifying a '-' character as the first character for a password, would disable multi-line FTP responses (see release below notes for Serv-U 2.4).
· Corrected an FTP MLST bug where listing a virtual path would return the physical path's file or directory name instead of the virtual path name.
· Corrected an HTTP upload and download statistic bug where more bytes than the actual number transferred were being tallied; in most cases almost twice as much.
· Corrected an automatic home directory creation bug, when logging in as a Windows User, where the logged in user doesn't have read and write permission to the parent directory of the user's home directory; Serv-U was unable to create user's home directory automatically.
· Corrected an SFTP bug where relative paths were not working. The SFTP specification identifies "file names" not starting with the "/" character to be paths relative to the user's home directory.
· Corrected an SFTP bug when attempting to set the file attribute; failure would cause Serv-U to close any open file and invalidate the client's file handle causing uploads or downloads to fail.
· Corrected a cosmetic bug where Serv-U would not correctly set the letter case for Windows Shortcuts when Shortcuts are treated as links instead of files (the default setting).
· Corrected a bug where paths containing wildcard characters "*" and/or "?" could return the first matching file or directory and allow non-wildcard operations to be performed (such as delete, upload, and download).
· Corrected a bug where performing a wildcard listing in a directory, and a subdirectory matched the wildcard, the subdirectory's content was listed instead of the parent directory using wildcard matching.
· Corrected a bug where wildcard listings on "" (the computer's available drives for the logged in user's account) would not work correctly.
· Corrected a bug when listing with wildcards in directories with virtual paths. When no physical file existed matching the wildcard but a virtual path did Serv-U would not list the virtual path.
· Corrected a bug when specifying a domain home directory, if the directory path contained a trailing "" character, Serv-U would not correctly limit the directory size.
January 7th, 2009· Added iPhone / iPod Touch support, new logging, new tray option, MFF, MFMT, MFCT FTP commands, Google Chrome support, security fixes
October 8th, 2008Features:
· dded the ability to view and download 3 different sized images on the iPhone/iPod Touch (small, medium, and full-sized).
· Changed iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard so that it doesn't start automatically with CAPS on for all input fields.
· Improved "Unable to establish SSL connection" log message when the client simply disconnects during the negotiation phase. This usually indicates that the client has rejected the SSL certificate.
· Improved the Basic Web Client for the iPhone and iPod Touch by disabling the parent directory buttons when in the user's root directory.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected an iPhone/iPod Touch bug where the "Up Directory" button would not work in the home directory if the user wasn't locked in the home directory.
· Corrected a problem where large HTTP/HTTPS uploads could pause indefinitely. This problem could appear when Serv-U was running on a multi-processor / multiple-core server.
· Corrected a Basic Web Client bug where keyboard focus was not reset to the file list after a delete confirmation dialog was displayed.
· Corrected an FTP display bug when specifying a wildcard character such as "*" or "?" as a parameter for a path name, Serv-U would return the first file with the matching name in its response.
· Corrected an SFTP bug where closing a file handle, and attempting to set the file attributes on a file where permission is denied could cause Serv-U to crash.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where uploading a directory with the same name as the destination would produce an error.
· Corrected a security bug where specifying a Windows port (such as CON:, LPT1:, PRN:, etc.) when using the STOU command, could cause Serv-U to consume all of the CPU time on a processor. This problem could only occur when write privileges were granted to the specified directory. (Secunia SA32150)
· Corrected a security bug with rename where moving a file or directory to a location where delete privileges were not granted for an existing file or directory, would cause the file or directory to be moved. (Secunia SA32150)
· Corrected a security bug with rename where placing the destination in "" (i.e., "My Computer") would cause the file to moved to the current Windows directory.
April 10th, 2008Features:
· Updated Traditional and Simplified Chinese license files.
· Updated Japanese Management Console strings.
· Reduced the size of several translated license files.
· Updated Swedish translation and added as an installation option.
· Changed the VARCHAR definitions from 512 to 255 for database creation so Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access can be used as a database for Serv-U.
Bug Fixes:
· Corrected a bug where Serv-U would allow certain operations in the computer root ("") instead of on a UNC path or drive path. The computer root is not a physical entity that can be written to or read from. Because of this operations must be denied.
· Corrected a bug where the copyright text on the Server Details page under the Program Information tab was being wrapped incorrectly.
· Corrected an ODBC bug where the SQL statement used to add columns to an existing table did not work for MS SQL 2000.
· Corrected an ODBC bug where if the columns of data were requested "out of order" (according to the column ordinal) MS SQL 2000 would fail.
· Corrected a problem with old Serv-U Corporate registration IDs.
· Changed how anonymous FTP login works when anonymous login is not allowed. As with previous versions of Serv-U, when "USER anonymous" is received, it is accepted, until the "PASS xxxx" command is received, when the anonymous login is rejected. This change is due to Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, rejecting the user after the USER command causes the login to fail, and not prompt for a user ID and password.
· Corrected a bug where Windows shortcuts to drives would cause a GPF (crash) if Serv-U is treating Windows shortcuts as the target.
· Changed the default ASCII / BINARY transfer mode (which is only cosmetic in Serv-U) to ASCII as with versions prior to 7.0.0.1.
· Corrected a problem where the TYPE FTP command was not supporting the "REPRESENTATION TYPE (TYPE)" format as outlined in RFC 765.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where SSL uploads would insert an HTTP protocol header into the uploaded file. This also improves the transfer speed.
· Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager JV where the Help button of the About dialog was broken.
March 23rd, 2007· Corrected invalid Start menu shortcut to the Serv-U Help file. It now brings up Serv-U.chm
· Updated all DLL and .EXE resource version numbers to match.
· Corrected an installer error where an old link to "Serv-U Online Help" under the Start menu may not have been deleted when upgrading.
