• UI adjustments
  • Options menu
  • Populate Preferences menu
• Benchmarking tool

    • Delete -> entry under File menu (del) or popup menu via file table
    • Create folder -> entry under File menu (ctrl+n)
    • Move -> popup menu via file table

Release versions:

v0.1:

• Encryption/decryption of local files

Deprecated features:

• FTP
  • FTP has been replaced with a custom protocol
• To be implemented later on Parallelized mode available (causes a memory leak)
  • Each select file will be process by its own Thread, effectively processing all files at the same time
  • Replaced by FTPS authentication Authentication over TLS, using SHA384
    • Two rounds:
      • First, the client sends its username and password over TLS to the authentication server and this one checks for a match. If correct, the client receives a unique random token. Finally, it closes the TLS connection.
      • Second, the user sends its username and the previously received token over TLS to the data server checks. This one checks if an entry username:token exists. If yes, the connection stays open and data may flow. Else it is closed.
