Since upgrading to Serv-U 15.3.2, I have many users who cannot connect anymore. In my case, the similarity with all the cases is that they are using an application that uses the very popular JSch SFTP library within it to connect to external SFTP servers to upload/download files. This has worked fine for over 10+ years but…
We are migrating our ServU instance to a new set of web and DB servers. Right now we have version 15.1.1.108 running on a Windows Server 2012 machine. That connects to a Windows Server 2006r2 machine running SQL Server 2012. The Users and Groups for ServU are all DB hosted. This setup has been working fine for years. We…
It wasn't that long ago that SSL 2.0 and then SSL 3.0 imperfections sent the security world scrambling to the safety of TLS, SSL's direct successor. Then came BEAST, which used a combination of JavaScript and network sniffers to decrypt authentication cookies over TLS 1.0 streams. And now we have the Lucky 13 attack that…
We have installed your latest hotfix (15.1 HOTFIX 2 & 3) on our servers and now no one can upload files via SFTP using WinSCP (any version). You are presented with an error "No such file" when you attempt upload via SFTP (port 22). It is possible to overwrite existing files but not upload any new ones. FTPS is fine, SFTP…
When you share a file, it creates a URL that someone can open and download the file. There should be a feature to have the original sender add more files to that "URL" until it expires.
We have a Serv-U MFT server that is being backed by a SQL 2014 database for users/groups. This will be deployed as a clustered configuration for Serv-U so the DB is required. The problem I am having is the everything works great with a couple users in the database but when we load the 5000 we need to, it tends to lock up…
Hi all, Please can you tell me how to disable File Sharing functionality for users by default and then Allow File Sharing for a group of users only. I see the "Allow File Sharing" option in Limits and Settings for Users and Groups, but by default it is 'YES'. I do not see a way of setting this to 'NO' by default and then…
I know we can set a password to Serv-U via "Change Admin Password" function under Limits & Settings > Settings tab. My question is, what happens if the original admin leaves and didn't document the password and the new admin wanted to change it. Is there a way to recover it or to change it without having the original…
Apparently, security is not your job after all. In a recent security survey we asked more than a hundred IT administrators and other professionals about their roles and attitudes toward computer and network security. Not surprisingly, almost all IT pros (86%) said that they are responsible for securing IT. However, only…
I am trying to setup Windows Authentication and it tells me that "login is not successful" but if I add a global user it works fine. I have followed the following articles http://www.serv-u.com/kb/1977/Windows-Groups-and-Organizational-Units-in-ServU Enabling Windows User NT-SAM / Active Directory Support in Serv-U I have…
