Today's release of FinalBuilder 8.6 and Automise 5.6 is important if you use the SFTP actions in these products.
This release includes re-implemented SFTP actions, in native code, using a new SFTP client library. This is something we have been wanting to for a few years now, the old library was no longer fit for purpose - it had bugs we were never able to resolve (since we never had the source code) and it did not support the newer algorithms.
The actions have been tested with
- OpenSSH 10.x
- Bitvise 9.x
In addition we added support for newer Post Quantum key exchange algorithms :
- mlkem768x25519-sha256
- sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com
IMPORTANT: Before installing/running this release, ensure you have a backup of your project files (even better if they are in version control!). Project files saved with this version cannot be opened in older versions without information loss.
Whilst we have done extensive testing, it was not possible for us to test with every SSH server implementation out there - so there may be issues. We suggest you test this version with your SSH server(s) before putting this version into production.
