Introduction

We’ve made the decision to retire the 32-bit version of Cerberus FTP Server. Version 11 will be the last 32-bit version available, and while we will continue supporting its 32-bit version for at least the next 12 months, our future releases in Version 12 and above will only be offered in 64-bit versions.

Why Are We Making This Change?

Although the majority of customers are already using our 64-bit version, we encourage all 32-bit users to migrate to Cerberus FTP Server’s 64-bit version due to improved security provided by the 64-bit version of Windows. This version’s features include:  

  • Address Space Layout Randomization
  • Kernel Patch Protection
  • Data Execution Protection

Questions About Migrating to 64-Bit?

We hope that this announcement will provide ample time to migrate to the 64-bit build. If you have questions about doing so, we encourage you to contact support.
