Features:

• Added the ability to press the tab key to iterate over each dockable frame of FTP Voyager JV.
• Added an administrative warning in the Management Console when upgrading from Serv-U 32-bit to Serv-U 64-bit when a server or domain database could not be opened possibly due the need to create a matching 64-bit "System DSN" or "User DSN".

Bug Fixes:

Serv-U Version 10.0.0.2

Serv-U 10.0.0.2 was released May 17, 2010. A complete list of changes and upgrades follows:

Features:
Engine:

• Added support for Windows 64-bit (AMD64/x64). Serv-U 64-bit is installed automatically when installing on a Windows 64-bit computer.
• Added IPv6 support. This feature includes separate listeners for IPv6 addresses, IPv6 CIDR support, IPv6 access rules, and logging. Serv-U supports IPv6 without losing any functionality supported with IPv4.
• Added a new groups tab for Windows Organizational Units (OU). This new feature gives administrators finer control over Windows authenticated sessions.
• Added "Group Administrator" and "Read-Only Group Administrator" support. Group Administrators can administer users, administer groups, and monitor sessions within the same group(s).
• Added support for the EPRT (Extended Port) and EPSV (Extended Passive) FTP commands. These commands support both IPv4 and IPv6.
• Added the ability to specify non-absolute message files for the FTP CWD, XCWD, CDUP, and XCUP commands so that message files (such as ".message") may be presented as part of a command response.
• Added event rules to configure events so they fire only under specified conditions.
• Added a Directory Listing limit to the server, domain, group, and user where an absolute or non-absolute message file may be specified. When users change to the specified directory the message is displayed in a dialog (within the Web Client and FTP Voyager JV) and returned via part of the FTP response. This feature in not supported by SFTP.
• Added the ability to hide from clients whether or not a file or directory is compressed or encrypted. These new limits are available per user, group, domain, or the entire server.
• Added the ability to force users to change their password at their next login.
• Added an HTTP limit adding the ability to disable HTTP media play capabilities in the Web Client.
• Added an HTTP limit to disable the "Remember Me" check box on the HTTP login page.
• Added an HTTP limit to disable the "Language" drop list on the HTTP login page.
• Added an HTTP limit to disable the "Theme" drop list on the HTTP login page and in the Web Client.
• Added an HTTP limit to specify the default language on the login page when clients connect with browsers localized with a language in which Serv-U isn't localized. Serv-U uses the browser's language settings to select the default language when known.
• Added the ability to limit HTTP media playing during certain times of day.
• Added additional administrative log information to help identify detailed information about administrative activities.
• Added server logging information about WinSock initialization including the version number in-use and initialization failure.
• Added server logging information about the version of Windows.
• Added triggered event logging. Information is placed in the log whenever an event is triggered. This is useful when implementing events.
• Added new system variables: $LoginID (session login ID like $Name but refers to administrator login ID, not the target user in administrative operations), $OSAndPlatform (outputs the operating system name and platform)
• Added new path variable %USER_FULL_NAME% to complement %USER%. %USER_FULL_NAME% replaces the variable with the user accounts "Full Name" field.
• Improved UPnP device discovery so that more Internet gateways can be located and configured.
• Added IP address information to PASV port range server log messages to help identify the IP addresses available and being used for PASV port ranges.
• Added the "Serv-U User's Manual", available in the start menu.
• Improved failed file transfer logging and events by checking the status of the connection at close time.
• Improved SFTP (via SSH2) upload performance for clients using very fast connections but sending very small SSH packets.
• Added SSH command logging for SSH_MSG_IGNORE, SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED, and SSH_MSG_DEBUG including the number of bytes received for each command.
• Added logging options to enable and disable SFTP and SSH2 detailed logging. Affected commands are: SSH_FXP_READDIR, SSH_FXP_READ, SSH_FXP_WRITE, SSH_MSG_IGNORE, SSH_MSG_DEBUG, SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED
• Added file transfer failure logging and events for SFTP (via SSH2) transfers. Due to the nature of SFTP, certain assumptions are made to determine whether a file is being uploaded or downloaded. An SFTP transfer failure is assumed when a file is not explicitly closed by the SFTP client.
• When adding a group, the Group Name is now trimmed, removing leading and trailing white space.
• Updated OpenSSL libraries from 0.9.8m to 0.9.8n.

• Corrected a bug where FTP message files and the user's welcome message would interpret the "\" and the following character as special characters and cause messages to appear garbled when using FTP.
• Corrected an FTP data channel bug, introduced in Serv-U 9.4.0.0, where Serv-U did not recognize a PASV/EPSV command had already been issued prior to uploading a file when uploading very small files (or empty files) on a very fast connection. This problem only occurred with a certain FTP client.
• Corrected an installer bug where upgrading from Serv-U <= 6.4 when an administrator password was applied, login to the Management Console would always fail.
