Download Serv-U 14.0.0.6

Rhino Software has released version 14 of Serv-U, skipping version 13, for the superstitious among us. Serv-U is a small but extensive ftp server, which is available in the performances Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Serv-U can be tried in the Gold version in the first 30 days. During that time, the software offers, among other things, an unlimited number of domains, user administration per domain and simultaneous connections, and it is possible to set up secure connections. After those thirty days, a key must be purchased. Prices start at $300. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Features:

• Added support for LDAP authentication. (Serv-U Platinum only)
• Added support for LDAP group and organizational unit membership. (Serv-U Platinum only)
• Added server options to enable or disable specific SSL ciphers for HTTPS and FTPS.
• Added Windows Event Log write events, allowing events to be written to the local Windows Event Log. (Serv-U Windows only)
• Added Microsoft Message Queue write events, allowing events to be written to one or more local or remote MSMQ queues. (Serv-U Platinum only, Serv-U Windows only)
• Added support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
• While running as a trial, Serv-U runs as Serv-U Platinum instead of Serv-U Gold.
• Changed the SYST FTP/S command to return “UNIX Type: L8” when using UNIX style LISTings (default), “Windows_NT” when using IIS style LISTings, or “DOS” when using DOS style listings. The listing style can be specified in the “LIST” FTP command.
• All connections to Serv-U Gateway occur on port 1180 to help simplify firewall configuration between Serv-U and Serv-U Gateway. Previous versions connected on random ports above 1024. Requires Serv-U Gateway 12.2.0.0 or higher.
• Improved Serv-U Gateway dead listener detection to recognize when Serv-U Gateway appears to have gone offline by network connection loss. Requires Serv-U Gateway 12.1.0.10 or greater.
• Added server and domain listener events: SUEVENT_ID_LISTENER_SUCCESS, SUEVENT_ID_LISTENER_STOP, SUEVENT_ID_LISTENER_FAILURE, SUEVENT_ID_GATEWAY_LISTENER_SUCCESS, SUEVENT_ID_GATEWAY_LISTENER_STOP, SUEVENT_ID_GATEWAY_LISTENER_FAILURE, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_LISTENER_SUCCESS, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_LISTENER_STOP, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_LISTENER_FAILURE, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_GATEWAY_LISTENER_SUCCESS, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_GATEWAY_LISTENER_STOP, SUEVENT_ID_PERM_DATA_GATEWAY_LISTENER_FAILURE
• Added server and domain listener event variables: $GatewayIPAddress, $GatewayPort, $ListenerIPAddress, $ListenerPort, $ListenerType, $ListenResult
• Added domain log file event SUEVENT_ID_LOG_ROTATED, triggered when the log file path changes.
• Added domain log file event variable $OldLogFilePath representing the previous log file’s path name.
• Increased Serv-U’s SFTP (over SSH2) buffer for SFTP clients that use brute force methods to increase file transfer speeds.

• Changed wildcard path comparisons for ratio free files to also include subdirectories.
• Upgraded development environment from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. The Microsoft runtime libraries are from Visual Studio 2010 due to Microsoft’s discontinued support of Windows XP.
• Added an additional count when importing users to identify how many user accounts could not be saved. This can occur for a non-existent database or hard disk capacity is exceeded.

• Improved functionality of bubble tips in the Management Console and Web Client by allowing them to be layered under dialogs and other bubble tips.
