Serv-U Version 8

How are we doing on this. I heard you were getting it completed. I want to renew my support for serv-u but not if I can't use it.

Thanks..

Mike

Well, this is in our To-Do list but the problem is that we're not getting positive response from Surv-U management. And by that time, I can not give you an ETA on Serv-U 8 integration with Hosting Controller.

They already told me because I have been pushing them hard. There is no interface or means to provision outside of their product. They don't plan at this time to enhance it with their api's. It really tweaks me off too because I liked their product. The new product is very nice but if I can't use it in the real world then it "****". They have left themselves out of the real work business solutions with this blunder too. No corporation is going to manually administer 1000's of ftp accounts. What are they nutzz !!!

I hope RhinoSoft gets it through their head that they are part of an industry and should play nice with others.

What is a good product to use. Gene6 has an opportunity here to step up and add some functionality similar to Serv-U and smoke them off the map. Any suggestions for a good FTP server. I am not fond of Serv-U 6.

now we have two options left
MS-ftp
Gene6

In those options Gene6 would be the right choice

I did search on net and found that other control panels are also not supporting ServU 7/8.... This mean ServU out of business now.

This is the best time for Gene6 distribution to raise their business..lolx

what about filezilla ? This is an up in coming product. Something about Gene6 doesn't turn me on. I need features, function, goodies :)

What made you think that filezilla is more better than Gene6 ?

Hi everyone,

My name is Thomas, and I work at RhinoSoft.com as a Tech Support Engineer. Based on strong customer demand, we've implemented a new API in the upcoming release of Serv-U 9 that is more powerful than the one previously available and simpler to implement. This release is due out near the end of this month, but if you'd like access to a preview or would like to be notified of the release you can contact us at www.RhinoSoft.com/Support.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

Finally we can upgrade our older version of ServU 6.4 . Please integrate latest version ASAP.

Currently we are in negotiation with RhinoSoft for integration of latest version of Serv-U and as soon as we come to some conclusion, we will publicly announce it.

Meanwhile, we would appreciate if you people can come up with alternative options. Please post suggestions directly here or send email to support@hostingcontroller.com with subject "Integration Request". Hosting Controller, as always will try to offer best available 3rd-party solutions to its customers.

If there is no chance for using ServU then the best option is FileZilla Server.

It is free and a very good FTP server,

We hope to see ServU 8/9 support in HC panel. But if it is not like this then we are Okay with Gene6 ftp server. Affordable in price and got good features.

I have 2 web servers IIS6 (2k3) & II7 (2k8) on these I want to use Servu ftp server. Before I purchase ServU 2 licenses may I know when it will be supported in HC8 ?

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick update - Serv-U 9.0.0.1 was released on September 29, 2009 and is now available for download and installation. This
build adds a very powerful new API to the Serv-U File Server which is publicly available and comes with a fully-documented example
DLL. Once installed, the "Serv-U Integration Sample DLL" folder is created in the Serv-U installation directory and contains that
sample code with a Visual Studio project file included.

This API is still flexible enough to be updated to meet the needs of HostingController 8, and although we cannot integrate it into
HC ourselves we're willing and excited to be able to work with the Hosting Controller team to made any desired modifications and
provide support as needed as they integrate Serv-U into HostingController 8.

We will not suggest you to purchase a product which is yet to be decided if we are going to integrate or not.

If you can't wait longer then you have alternative option to use Gene6 ftp server or MS-ftp.

Also the good news is we are going to support MS-ftp7 in Build5.

HC member  told us yesterday that they don't have plan to support latest ServU :(
And going to support other ftp server like Ftp7.

Is there anyway to migrate ftp user from ServU 4 into Gene6 ?

Hi Patrick,

This is unfortunate, as we added the Integration DLL to Serv-U 9 to assist in the process of enhancing Serv-U, especially for our customers who use solutions like HostingController to centralize the management of datacenter needs. Did HostingController indicate to you why they do not intend to support Serv-U 9?

They said that ServU9 integration is not set in top list. If it is supported after 6 or 8 months then it is useless for customers like us.

You should talk to them and ask to give priority for this integration.

Hi Patrick,

We're ready and able to work with HostingController's technicians at any time to make integration a reality, which we have indicated to them directly as well. All we are waiting on is for them to let us know they are ready to set up integration.

Yes this is right as currently we don't have any plan to integrate ServU9 version. In coming release of HC MS-ftp7 will also be supported.
