FileZilla Forums

Hi, im a teacher in vocational education, and ive found that recently Filezilla Server has an active development.
Also a few months ago, its multiplatform with support for Linux also.
Reading the changelog, i find that it had many years without development or at least no public releases...from 2015 if my memory doesnt fail....

Can we confident this one is the final one, when we can get an FTP Server with as or similar development as FTP Client Filezilla Client and so popular ?
Any summary about history, the "break" time and the new impulse would be nice to teach to my students.

Thanks for your work and help, with problems in this recent releases...in particular from Linux users, which an almost standard server, with gui and easy to use, was almost a must have.

pd: with all the respect to your work, knowing latest problems arised in Filezilla Server like for exampleh TLS, generating certificates, permissions in folders, welcome message...dont would have the number of release be something like 0.9.70.. i think an 1.2.0 number suggests an stable and robust version avalaible for use in production...and seems that although the good work and efforts,at least today is not in that stage...

The decision to rewrite FileZilla Server has been made a long time ago. Development activity never stopped, the work just happened in less visible areas. As part of the process to rewrite the server, libfilezilla has been created, to be used by both the client and the server. A lot of effort went into factoring out and generalizing code for the library.

According https://filezilla-project.org/changelog ... changes=25 its from early 2018 that no new version was released... Thanks again for your work

No new versions released does not mean development has stalled. The work just went into a completely new code repository, leaving the old code behind which was basically barely maintainable, anymore.
