New WS_FTP Server 6.1 Released

Ipswitch released a new version of WS_FTP Server 6.1.

If you are looking for a server, check out this list of enhancements introduced in version 6.1:

Choice of Databases: Administrators have the option to either use the embedded WS_FTP Server database or integrate with an existing Microsoft® SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Express for both user authentication and server system configuration (ie: access controls, user permissions, password policies, etc.)

Choice of Web Servers: Administrators can either use the default standards-based Web server that ships with WS_FTP Server or integrate with Microsoft IIS for powering the Web administration interface of WS_FTP Server.

Silent Install for Fast Deployment of Multiple Servers: Enables administrators to customize installation configuration and quickly get multiple server deployments with unattended bulk installations up and running remotely, quickly and easily.

Storage Utilization Displayed to Connecting WS_FTP Professional clients: Users connecting to WS_FTP Server 6.1 with the WS_FTP Professional 2007.1 file transfer client get a realtime view of their server disk space utilization. (note: WS_FTP Professional 2007.1 to be released shortly)

Lock Files During Upload: Ensure version control of files by preventing different users from simultaneously uploading and downloading the same file. File lock during upload prevents users from downloading a file before it is fully uploaded to the server.

Enhanced Password Management: Ability to force end users to change their password upon their initial login to the server. Administrators can also set policies that require users to reset their password at any time on an ongoing basis.
