Rebex Buru SFTP Server 2.7: Flexible user lockout

Download Buru SFTP Server 2.7

We have released Rebex Buru SFTP Server v2.7. Here is an overview of changes, fixes and improvements.

Flexible user lockout

Since version 2.6 administrators (in addition to automated account lockout) can lock out users using burusftp user update --lock. We added an option to lock out users for specified time, given as date (and/or time) or duration:

• burusftp user update guybrush --lock 2030-12-31
• burusftp user update guybrush --lock 60d
• burusftp user update guybrush --unlock

This feature is also available in Web Admin and has been moved from user detail page to user list page for more convenience.

More details can be found on burusftp user update page.

Check for updates (Web Admin only)

Administrators can now explicitly check for updates on Web Admin home page. This feature requires the server to have internet connection to www.rebex.net.
