Transferring directories:
Directories can be transferred between Unix and Windows systems. To permit this, the commands ft and ncopy have been extended with the option -d.
The new field PROGRESS in the output of the ftshwr command displays the progress of (asynchronous) directory transfer.
The new option ftmodo -ltd has been introduced to set the logging scope for directory transfer.
The new value ftshwl -ff=T selects log records of directory transfer requests. In addition, the ftshwl output has been extended to the field TRANSFILE (long output) as well as the FT function values TD, SD, SF (short output) and the value FUNCTION=TRANSFER-DIR (long output).
Transferring multiple files via FTAM:
Multiple files can be transferred synchronously between Unix and Windows systems using the FTAM protocol. This is controlled by a specific file name syntax of the ncopy command.
Extension of the openFT-Script commands
The FT administrator can set limits of openFT requests. To permit this, the command ftmodsuo has been extended to the options -u, -thl and -ftl.
ftshwsuo displays the limits currently set.
The ftshwk command displays the partner name for public keys of partner systems.
FarSync X25 support
FarSync X.25 cards from the manufacturer FarSite are directly supported by openFT on Linux and Windows systems. PCMX is no longer required for this. The connection method XOT (X.25 via TCP/IP) is also supported on Linux by using the FarSync XOT Runtime.
To permit this, the commands ftaddptn, ftmodptn, ftmodo, ftshwptn and ftshwo have been extended.Extended support of the Application Entity Title
The Application Entity Title (AET) now can be used for checking the partner address of FTAM partners. To permit this, the ftmodo command has been modified by extending the -ptc (partner check) option and adding the -aet option for specifying the AET. The ftshwo command has been extended by the -ae option.
- The maximal length of the command string in the ftexec command has been raised to 8191.
Other changes
Modified partner checking for partners which are addressed via IPv6 with scope ID or via X.25 with line number. By this, a unique identification via the partner address is always possible.
The ft_mget command has been extended by the -case option which controls the consideration of the upper case / lower case in the file name pattern.
The ADM administrator now can return the permission for remote administration (ftmoda -admpriv=n). The configuration of the remote administration server is retained.

- Support of RSA keys with length 3072 and 4096.
Changes in openFT version V12.1C30:
