Download FileZilla Server 0.9.15

The FileZilla developers not only upgraded their eponymous FTP client, but also upgraded the FTP server software to version 0.9.15. FileZilla Server is a small program to run an FTP server at home, for example, with or without support for the FXP and SFTP protocols. In version 0.9.15 a number of bug fixes have been made as well as a new feature added to the program. The new feature of FileZilla Server is the support of the 8bit Unicode Transformation Format, also known as UTF-8. The new feature does mean that FileZilla Server can now only be run on Windows 2000 or higher:

Notes:

FileZilla Server now uses UTF-8 encoding for filenames as specified in RFC 2640 ( This allows for proper handling of filenames containing non-English characters, as FTP originally was only designed for 7-bit US-ASCII. In order to support UTF-8 , FileZilla Server now requires at least Windows 2000 or higher, Windows 98 is no longer supported.

You might have problems with some non-UTF8 capable clients that do now support RFC 2640. In this case I recommend to use FileZilla as client, it supports UTF-8.

New features:

• UTF-8 support as specified in RFC 2640. As result, the minimum required Windows version is now Windows 2000.

Fixed bugs:

• SSL file truncation problem
• Compatibility fix for NAT-in-NAT environments
• Compatibility with clients sending the STRU command
• Fix loading or aliases in UNC format
