Beta builds

From time to time, we will post beta builds of an upcoming service release here. We will do so if we feel the included bug fixes will affect and interest a significant number of clients.

You can be automatically notified of new beta builds by clicking the ‘Enable Email Subscription’ button above.

The beta builds are removed once they become the general release.

Although these builds are tested and fully functional, use them at your own risk. They are not full releases and only contain the component assemblies.

Below is a list of changes included in this beta build. If you’re affected by one of the issues below, download the beta version and see if it resolves your issue:

• No longer requests file locking by default on SFtp version 6 servers. Can be enabled manually. [161080]
• Version 5.6 now uses System.Security.Cryptography.AesCryptoServiceProvider for AES instead of RijndaelManaged. That change makes the component run on a machine that has the FIPS compliance switch turned on.

A general release is scheduled for the week of February 15th 2015.

You can get the beta build for version 4.8, which targets the .NET framework 2.0/3.5 here:
Xceed.SFtp.NET.4.8.14609.0.zip

You can get the beta build for version 5.6, which targets the .NET framework 4.0 here:
Xceed.SFtp.NET.5.6.14615.0.zip

You can get the updated documentation here:
Xceed.SFtp.NET.Documentation.5.6.14609.0.zip

 

You can always get the official full release on the main website. But that release does not contain the fixes described here.

#21471

A new build has been posted. Here are the changes made:

• Can now connect to SSH servers that use DSS (DSA) keys longer than 1024 bits up to a limit of 3072 bits.
• The SSHClient.Timeout property now applies to SSH identification
  string sequence. This eliminates the behavior where the component
  freezes if the server doesn’t send an ID string. Instead, it will now
  throw a SSHTimeoutException after the timeout value elapses.
• Added the SSHClient.TimeoutSeconds property. It is a utility
  property that allows to set the timeout value in seconds instead of
  miliseconds.
• The SSHClient class now implements the IDisposable interface. This
  means you are encouraged to use SSHClient as part of a ‘using’
  statement. SSHClient.Dispose() makes sure to Disconnect() from the
  server (if applicable).
• The HostKeyReceivedEventArgs.HostKeyMD5FingerprintString property
  now uses the very common ‘:’ character as a separator instead of ‘-‘.
  This makes string comparisons with your own MD5 fingerprint strings
  easier to make.
