  • Latest Changes

    - The WinSSHD Control Panel now features an additional Activity tab which displays recent SSH server activity in a more casual and accessible form than full log files

    - When running, WinSSHD Control Panel can now display popup notifications on the Administrator's desktop when various types of SSH session activity occur

    - The WinSSHD Control Panel now features its own log file folder viewer, to work around a UAC issue that could obstruct opening of the log file folder through Windows Explorer

    - A remote version of the WinSSHD Control Panel can now again be used to administer WinSSHD remotely, using Tunnelier 4.29 or newer

    - SFTP/SCP: WinSSHD now supports read/write/delete access restrictions for mount points, allowing more configurations to be expressed fully using virtual accounts and mount point settings, instead of involving separate Windows accounts and NTFS permissions

    - SFTP/SCP: added advanced setting 'OwnerGroup' to disable sending of owner and group information to clients, and to ignore these data when they are received. Intended to resolve issues where files end up with undesired owners after transfer

    Amazing! The shear number of options available dwarfs every other free offering I have tried (freeSSHd, Core FTP, MobaSSH, Sysax). It's important to note the word "free", because when installing you can choose to install under a Personal licence, which is free and HARDLY crippled compared to their standard product. (oh, and remember to configure your firewall correctly!)
