CrushFTP 5
Many more features will still be coming to CrushFTP 5. This is just the beginnning...
Current CrushFTP4 registrations will work in CrushFTP5 for now. They will stop working as of 12/01/2009.
CrushFTP 5 is a paid upgrade for everyone except enterprise customers.
Protocols:
WebInterface(HTML/Flash/Java), FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, WebDAV(SSL), HTTP(SSL), AS2
Features:
*SCP support for SSH transfers.
*Support for AS2 transfers.
*CrushTunnel is part of CrushFTP now. You can define tunnels, and assign them to users for access. A tunnel is sort of like a mini VPN, but only for a single port, and all running over HTTP. You can allow specific pin holes into your network for certain services. In that sense its more secure than a VPN that puts a users totally inside your network.
*SSH Port Forwarding (tunnels), can be locked down to specific users, specific IPs and ports.
*Temp Accounts are only partially implemented. Similar to magic directory in that a folder structure defines and controls account access. They are all managed by CrushFTP and purged based on specific rules, as well as the user who generated the temp account can manage their own temp accounts.
*User manager is more streamlined. I can now add new features to crush easier. The old user manager was difficult to add things to.
*User manager will only prompt to save if a change was really made.
*User manager allows for complex inheritance, live GUI reflection of the inheritance being done, and a simpler mode where you only see the settings that you have changed from the defaults. (90% of the time its the way you want it.)
*New WebInterface has more advanced features, faster rendering, handles more items better, image previews on files is built in.
*You can easily do publishing and sharing of photos on the WebInterface now.
*User manager allows for window shading up the various section headers on a user.
*Live filtering based on username, or based on users who inherit from the username.
*Multiple group chaining for settings in the User Manager. CrushFTP4 could only do a single group, or individual settings. CrushFTP5 doesn't do individual settings, but it does multiple template style chaining.
*WebInterface now has a temporary account manager. Anytime you publish a file and generate a new temp account, this is now tracked, and you can later go back and delete the temp accounts you created (if they have auto expired).
*TempAccount manager is its own manager style window in the CrushFTP GUI.
*WebInterface can be toggled back and forth between Crush5 and Crush4 now. This gives you a bit more of a safety net for experimentation.
*There is a new download queue that allows for fast downloads, all managed by the Crush interface. Very slick.
*Uploads with the new WebInterface are even faster now using zipstreaming.
*When using preview on folders, zip files will have their contents listed when hovered over.
*WebInterface now has a slideshow view to see photos in easy photo viewer modes.
*Preview config in the server prefs will now help you auto configure different types of preview setups.
