This sounds like a good feature request to me. Please be sure to post it here:Serv-U FTP Server & MFT Server Feature Requests Would you be able to tell us which product you migrated from that allowed this type of configuration?

Your license will work on both Windows & Linux. However, if it's a very old license then its maintenance period is probably expired. So you'll need to ensure that the version of Serv-U you install on Linux is valid for your license. I believe if you login to your account on the RhinoSoft Customer Portal, the site helps you…

Unfortunately, it's not possible to put Serv-U in an iframe. Doing so would open it up to a type of attack known as clickjacking. What are you attempting to accomplish by placing it in an iframe? Perhaps there's another way. As for guest links with FTP, currently the ad hoc file sharing feature is only available via the…

This is once again a scenario that isn't officially supported. Serv-U does perform some caching of user accounts within memory. In general, if a user account has a current session associated with it or an admin session exists, then the accounts are going to be cached and won't pick up any external changes to the DB until…

It sounds like you might be using Internet Explorer 6, since that's the default in Server 2003. To use Serv-U, you must use Internet Explorer 8+ or an alternative browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.). If you install an alternative browser, just right-click on the Serv-U tray and enable "Use System Browser" to tell Serv-U to use…

In addition, the upcoming service release of Serv-U (which should be available shortly) adds a field under the SSH key settings that displays the host key / fingerprint directly.

I don't believe you need the CA Certificate Path for your setup. Clear that path, save the settings, and try again. If you still have issues, make sure logging for HTTP Commands and HTTP Replies is turned on and inspect the domain log after attempting an SSL connection Serv-U.

The disclosure states that servers are only known to be vulnerable if using v1.0.1 or v1.0.2 (beta). At this time, version 0.9.8 is not known to be vulnerable. Is My Serv-U Installation Affected by the SSL/TLS MITM OpenSSL Vulnerability?

There is an export option towards the top of the user screen next to where you select a collection to display. It will export the user collection to a CSV file. You can also import a CSV file to the currently viewed user collection in a similar fashion. In order to do what you're proposing, you would need to delete all…

This is a bug that Serv-U had with IE11. It was fixed in v15.0.1 when IE 11 support was added.

The event filters support wildcards, so you could setup the $LocalPathName as "C:\FTPRoot\DirectoryName\*". I believe the help documentation contains an example just like this towards the bottom of the page.

Unfortunately the SITE ZONE command that Peter mentioned won't help in this case as that command will only work for regular FTP connections. The way a file's modification date/time is set after an SFTP file transfer is via the SSH_FXP_SETSTAT command passing in a new value for the mtime attribute on the file. Per IETF…

Check your file sharing settings, specifically the "File Sharing Repository" path. There's a bug in the browse dialog for this field where if you highlight a folder and confirm it without browsing into the folder, then the value that's used is just the name of the directory rather than its full path. In other words, make…

I believe the target directory needs to exist when running a task within Scheduler.

Can you open a support ticket about this? Thanks.

This isn't currently supported in Serv-U, but I can see the utility of it. You should definitely post this in the feature request forum to document it and improve visibility of the request so other users can vote on it:…

Currently, there aren't any System Variables that are supported by the file management rule events. Your best best with them right now is to use them to inform an admin of errors that occurred when they were applied. The domain/server log can be reviewed for specifics on the error that occurred and which file(s) were…

Doing this is not officially supported, however you should not encounter any problems with Serv-U while modifying the translated string files. You should be careful when doing so as some strings assume HTML encoding. You can assume that if the English string includes HTML coding, you must do the same with the translated…

This is not something that's supported in Serv-U anymore. However, please feel free to log this as a feature request: Serv-U FTP Server & MFT Server Feature Requests

We have the Serv-U system requirements posted in this KB article: Serv-U System Requirements

Try "Interpret Windows shortcuts as links" -> Yes, and "Treat Windows shortcuts as target in listings" -> Yes. This tells Serv-U to pretend that the shortcut file is actually the target it's pointing to. In other words, the directory listing information returned by Serv-U will pretend that the target of the shortcut is…

It's hard to diagnose these types of issues since it's all dependent on the code in your integration DLL. My advice is to start with as limited amount of support as possible and as broad access as possible. Slowly add in more functionality and restrict access further - testing in between each change - to find where things…

SSH keys (whether the server's private key for negotiating with clients or the user's public keys used during authentication) are not stored directly inside of Serv-U. Instead, it stores the path to where the key is located on disk. So there's not really anything to export. Keys created by Serv-U use OpenSSL's default file…

This looks like a bug to me. It should be exporting expired users, too. Unfortunately, I cannot think of a workaround that will get around this. Please open a support ticket for this issue and let me know what the ticket # is so that I can give a heads up to the people in our Support Department. Thanks!

Using LDAP is the only way to get it working with the current version. One of the file sharing improvements coming in the next release includes pulling the full name and email address for AD users so they can be pre-populated in these fields.

If you're already using an ODBC database as the back-end storage mechanism for users and groups, then the 3rd party system (or a script you write that's triggered by this system) could directly insert a user into the database. The 3rd party system could also be responsible for removing it at the appropriate time or you…

If I understand correctly, you have specific users of Serv-U that you want to have the ability to manage user accounts. If this is the case, then you will need to create Serv-U accounts for your computer accounts management team and grant them the proper level of administrative rights to allow them to maintain other user…

Try using %USER% instead of $LoginID.

The archive file is not intended to be user editable so the format of it is not documented anywhere. What are you looking to do? Perhaps there's another way besides editing the file directly.

Currently, the only customization supported beyond the login screen is the custom logo in the top-left corner.
