June 21, 2023 | Lukas Paluzga

We have released Rebex Buru SFTP Server v2.9.5. Here is an overview of changes, fixes and improvements.

Post-installation configuration wizard

Installer package now contains post-installation configuration wizard, which allows you to configure basic settings after the installation, for example:

SSH endpoints for SSH/SFTP server
HTTP endpoints for Web Administration
Windows Firewall settings for both SSH and HTTP endpoints
User account with optional SFTP and Web Administration access

Startup logs

SSH server and Web Administration now always log startup messages to a log file with restricted size and rotation. The log files can be viewed using the Web Administration or accessed directly in the log subdirectory of the configuration directory.
