FileZilla Server is an FTP server that supports FTP and FTP over SSL/TLS. FTP over SSL/TLS provides secure encrypted connections to the server. FileZilla supports SSL, the same level of encryption supported by your web browser, to protect your data. When using SSL your data is encrypted so that prying eyes cannot see it, and your confidential information is protected. It also supports on-the-fly data compression, which can improve the transfer rates. Unfortunately, the compression setting can have mixed results, so it is advised to use it with care. It is possible for files that are already compressed to be transferred over the network using more than their original data size.
FileZilla Server 1.9.0 RC1 changelog:
New features:
- Private keys used for TLS can now be stored on a PKCS#11-compatible token device; the UI has been updated accordingly.
- UI: added button to retrieve the current FileZilla Server's public IP address, useful to configure the PASV mode.
- UI: added an FTP connection test, that can be reached directly from the Server menu item or executed at the end of the FTP Network Configuration Wizard.
- Made default values more secure, among which: require TLS on new FTP listeners, require a password for new users and warn if the administration password doesn't meet more stringent security requirements.
- Fixed bug causing the most recent log file, rather than the oldest, to be deleted upon rotation, when using dates as suffixes.
- MSW: fixed regression causing socket listener conflicts due to recent libfilezilla changes.
- Added WebUI: an HTTP server providing a REST API and a web app for seamless web access to stored files. WebUI is not included in the default build and must be enabled with the --enable-webui parameter during compilation. This feature is experimental; feedback and bug reports are welcome.
Bugfixes and minor changes:
- UI: the certificate fingerprint verification dialog is now sized to display the full fingerprint at once.
- UI: fixed bug causing the focus to be lost during user editing.
- UI: fixed bug causing the tray icon to display unexpectedly in certain cases.
- UI: improved error handling in case of server disconnection.
- UI: improved handling of Settings window size on ultra wide screens.
- FTP: the MKD command now returns an error if the directory already exists.
- FTP: Improved login timeout handling to exclude internal server processing time.
- Fixed heap corruption in the Administrator Interface.
- Fixed regression in the path handling routines.
