Update: SilverSHielD v6.1.11.141

We have just released SilverSHielD version 6.1.11.141.

This new version features only one small change: it ensures that all directories and virtual directories have the “permissions” bits properly set in the “attributes” extension (SFTPv4+).

Warning: if you’re upgrading from a version prior to 6.1.5.135, installing this new version may lead to loss/invalidation of your license. So if you are a licensed customer, please, contact InSync Microproducts before applying this update/upgrade. Thank you.
