We would like to announce the general availability of Serv-U FTP & MFT Server version 2026.3. This release contains following main new features and improvements
- MFA for Active Directory LDAP users
Multi-factor authentication is currently available for local and database users. In Serv-U 2026.3, it has been extended to include both Microsoft Windows (Active Directory) and LDAP users. - File Upload has returned to the Send Files Share Link workflow
The creation of a file share link and file upload can once again be performed in a single workflow. In addition, the workflow now exists as an enhanced, three-step wizard that allows files to be uploaded before the link is shared. - Support for RHEL 9 and CentOS 9
Serv-U now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and CentOS 9. - Content Security Policies have been hardened
Content Security Policies (CSPs) for Serv-U have been hardened, enhancing code injection prevention. - Permissions-Policy now configurable by the customer
Serv-U 2026.3 introduces the Permissions-Policy under the Limits and Settings section so that it is now configurable by the customer, with access restricted to system administrators. - Enhanced File Share user experience
Guest and owner views now feature better handling of stake File Share pages (files that have been deleted or added without refreshing) with user-friendly messaging rather than browser errors. - Improved Serv-U Client reliability and compatibility
A Safari rendering issue that previously hid folders in the Serv-U Client has been corrected. - Serv-U now features a default option to start local admin sessions in the web application
Beginning with version 2026.3, Serv-U no longer uses the legacy web browser based on Internet Explorer. Instead, it defaults to the stand-alone web application in your default OS browser. - General improvements
Updated OpenSSL for performance updates and security updates available in version 3.0.21.
