ProjectSend r514 release includes a security fixes; if you use either of these classes, we urge you to upgrade immediately. 

ProjectSend (previously cFTP) is a clients-oriented file uploading utility. Clients are created and assigned a username and a password. Then you can upload as much files as you want under each account, with the ability to add a title and description to each one.

ProjectSend provides easy and secure multi-file uploading and unlimited file size on ANY server! Even on common hostings shared accounts. When the client logs in, he will see a web page that contains your company logo, and a sortable list of every file uploaded under his name, with description, time, date, etc. It also works as a history of “sent” files. They can check the differences between versions, the time that it took to do that, and so on.

Additional benefits include saving hundreds of mb. on email accounts since every file remains on your server until you decide to delete it, and they can be accessed from any browser anywhere.

New Features

• Added a new form so users and clients can reset their password. *
• Added the possibility to set an expiry date to any file.
• Added an option to select if expired files should be hidden from the clients, or shown but not allowed to download.
• Added a template editor so each system email text, and the general header/footer can be customized.
• Added the possibility to set any file as public, which allows downloading via a tokenized link. Can be combined with the expiry date feature.
• New options to select the maximum attemps to send each notification, and also an expiration date (globally, in days).
• You can now search within the orphan files list. Also, it now has pagination.
• Each password field now has a toggle button for visibility, and the “confirm password” fields were removed.
• Added a new button on the files uploads page to copy the selected assignations of the current file to all others.
• The download log is stored on a separate table. This allows the system to recognize the date each file has been downloaded.
• Files (on the manage files page) can now be sorted by download count.

Fixes

• Implemented phpass for secure passwords.
• Fixed the notifications being sent multiple times.
• Changed the way the download link is generated to improve security.
• More validations are made when a file is requested for download.
• Fixed the back button so it won’t work after a user logs out.
• No more infinite redirects on login.
• The modal window can now be reused without reloading the page (the action is does it performs is no longer repetead).
• Fixed the urls where a double slash (//) was used.
• With the new download log, files that belong to groups can also be tracked when a client downloads it.
• Options are now saved correctly every time.
• Sorting files/users/groups by date now works with any set format.

Updated Scrpts

• plupload (1.5.7)
• phpmailer (5.2.7)

Other Notes

• The new password storing system requires that all curent accounts generate a new one. The security has been improved at the cost of this minor issue.
• The remember me checkbox has been temporarily removed. A more secure implementation is planned.
• The version number is not visible for unlogged users.
• jQuery is now loaded locally.
• The UI has been normalized (menu, button and messages styles, margins, layouts).
