FileZilla server greeting giving excess information

#1 Post by RobertBruce » 2024-01-07 21:47

using version 1.7.3 of Filla server the welcome message includes information that is not included in the configuration.
the excess information is the version and weblink to filezilla.
this should not be published as it poses a security risk and allows the outside world to know the version and application being used.
This information was not published on Ver 0.9.6

Have just upgrade to Ver 1.8.0 which still has this issue.

This is intentional. Please understand that there are other ways to identify the used server software, both product and version, even if you cannot see it in human-readable text.
