We have released Rebex Buru SFTP Server v2.15.4. Here is an overview of changes, fixes and improvements.

FTP protocol support

Buru SFTP Server now supports FTP and FTPS protocol, in addition to already supported SFTP, SCP and SSH protocols. FTP protocol is disabled by default and can be enabled either for individual users or for all users at once. Each FTP endpoint can be assigned a separate set of X.509 certificates. Both implicit and explicit FTPS modes are supported.

Buru SFTP Command Prompt now asks for administrator privileges by default

This has been source of confusion for users as running most burusftp commands without administrator privileges would fail with permission errors.
