Hi everyone,
I have a client that has not updated FileZilla Server in a while. They are currently on version: 0.9.44, and the software is now version: 0.9.60.2
I don't see a check for update option for FileZilla Server when reviewing "?"
So my question is this. If I download and install the latest version of FileZilla Server, will I lose any settings that I presently have?
Thank you.
Will updating FileZilla Server cause me to lose any settings?

Please, carefully study the Server version history linked above. There have been lots of improvements and, more importantly, a huge truckload of security fixes to various severe vulnerabilities (mostly in the OpenSSL libs). Version 0.9.44 is from April 2014 and basically Swiss cheese.
Making a backup is easy, just backup "FileZilla Server.xml" to a safe location. Install the latest version and then check if everything works (settings will not be deleted).
From memory, a list of a few things that changed in the past:
- Aliases
- FTP over TLS
- Cipher suites
- IP filter and binding syntax
