Syncplify.me Server! v4.0.33 released

  By ,

We have just released version 4.0.33 of our Syncplify.me Server! software. This version features the following improvements:

  • Fixed: behavior of [%USERNAME%] parameter in VFS when using Active Directory group authentication

Note: if after the update you notice any unexpected behavior in the web interface, just hit Ctrl-F5 in your browser; that will force the browser to reload the page as well as all back-end scripts and update the ones that may have been cached from previous versions of the software.

As usual you can download this new release from our website.

Syncplify.me Server! v4: new format to define groups

Syncplify.me Server! version: 4.0.0+

From Syncplify.me Server! v1 through v3 groups’ usernames used to start with a star/asterisk and then the group name enclosed within square brackets. For example the SFTP Users group would have the following username: *[SFTP Users]

User Type: Windows Group or Active Directory Group Continue reading

Parametric home directories

A structure like this:
C:\SFTPData
+----------\user_one
+----------\user_two

This is how you do it in Syncplify.me Server! v4. Continue reading
