Batchsync V12 - Version 12.7.0
Release date: 3/21/2022
- NEW Full support for OpenSSH 8.8 server.
- NEW Support for RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures.
OpenSSH 8.8 release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm. Batchsync now supports RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures, so your existing RSA public/private key pairs used for login authentication still work and will automatically use the stronger algorithm. - NEW Support for Ed25519 host key type
Batchsync adds support for Ed25519 server host keys. It also supports ECDSA host keys and these both can be used instead of RSA host keys. OpenSSH 8.8 server installer will automatically creates Ed25519 and ECDSA host keys, so connections to OpenSSH 8.8 server works without any further adjustments. - NEW New Ciphers:
- Added support for AES with Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM), known as aes128-gcm@openssh.com and aes256-gcm@openssh.com
- Added support for chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

:
Over 12 years, and 280+ versions and releases of Batchsync
:
2006 - First version of Batchsync released
:
1999 - First version of 3D-FTP released
- 3D-FTP was one of the first multi-threaded FTP clients available. It supported skins, a very popular UI concept of its time, and provided extremely fast file transfers. The MultiWire transfer engine of 3D-FTP later evolved into a one that we used for Batchsync when it was released in 2006. And today, over 20 years since first release, and many generations later, the same MultiWire transfer engine still powers Batchsync V12. Refined by hundreds of releases, thousands fixes and improvements, it has evolved into a rock-solid file transfer solution.
Batchsync V12 transfers over billion files every day. Running in 110+ countries. 24/365. Non-stop.
3D-FTP : This is how it all started in 1999
