Introducing LiquidFiles v3.4
LiquidFiles v3.4 is a major LiquidFiles release with quite a few changes, feature additions and enhancements. This page highlights the important changes.
General Changes
- New Feature: Reply to Secure Messages. A function that seems that it should have been in LiquidFiles for a long time and now it is.
- New Feature: Access Pass Authentication. Access Pass Authentication is the new way of sending Authenticated Secure Messages to External Users that doesn't require any accounts.
Changes to ActionScripts
Adding ActionScripts to LiquidFiles will enable you to insert your own scripts into the LiquidFiles flow at certain points, like when uploading Attachments, Sending Messages, Validating Passwords and similar. V3.4 adds further ActionScript Actions:
- Filedrop Delivery ActionScripts — Add custom actions when a file has been uploaded to a Filedrop.
- Message Parameters ActionScripts — Re-write Secure Messages as they are being delivered. You can for instance set to always require Authentication when sending to certain recipients or domains.
- Group Based Message Delivery ActionScript — Extending the Message Delivery Actionscript from v3.3 so you can set the same ActionScript for all users in the same group.
System Changes
- Added Brute Force Blocking to FTPDrops and FTPDirs.
- Added IP Based Firewall Blocking.
- Added a Brute Force and Firewall Blocking Page at Admin → System → Brute Force and Firewall Blocking to make it easier to manage blocked IP addresses.
