VanDyke Software®, a developer of multi-platform secure file transfer and secure terminal emulation software, today announced the official release of VShell® 4.8 server.
New “No virtual roots” Trigger and Trigger Variable
A “No virtual roots” trigger allows automatic responses if users are disconnected because no virtual roots are available.
“VShell administrators can configure the trigger to send a notification when a user cannot connect because a virtual root path has become inaccessible,” said Danielle Argiro, Product Manager for VShell. “This can happen, for example, when a virtual root path maps to a network drive. If the drive becomes unreachable due to network issues and causes VShell to disconnect users, the administrators can be alerted so they can fix the problem and allow file transfer to resume.”
