Upgrading CuteFTP

You can upgrade to version 9 from CuteFTP Pro, Home, or Lite v8.3.4. The Sites defined in the Site Manager and the settings in Global Options are migrated to the new version when you upgrade. To be safe, you should Back Up Site Configurations before doing any upgrade. The upgrade process is identical to the installation.

Upgrade considerations:

  • If a password for an existing SFTP key contains any Extended ASCII characters, after upgrading to CuteFTP 9, the password will no longer work. You will have to reenter the password. (This is because of changes to CuteFTP version 9 to support UTF-8.)

  • Refer to globalscape.com support pages for licensing considerations and costs, and any last-minute upgrade considerations.
