QUESTION
If I install EFT Server version 6, can I go back to EFT Server version 5 (or Secure FTP Server version 3)?
ANSWER
When you trial EFT Server version 6, you should install it on a test system, not your development system. If you need to downgrade back to the prior version, you can downgrade from EFT Server 6 to EFT Server 5 or Secure FTP Server 3.
To downgrade from EFT Server 6
-
Uninstall EFT Server version 6.
-
Copy the backed up configuration files from your previous version.
-
Delete the EFT Server 6 configuration file location registry key. The registry key location is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0\Config]
-
Reinstall your old version of EFT Server 5 or Secure FTP Server 3.
-
Stop the server service.
-
Move the backup configuration files to the installation folder. (Make sure .bak is removed, if applicable, from the extension name.)
-
Restart the service.
