Upgrade FileCloud on Linux from Version 23.1 or 23.232 to the Latest FileCloud Version


These instructions are only intended for users who had previously updated to FileCloud Version 23.1 when the latest FileCloud version was released. 
If you have not yet updated to FileCloud Version 23.1 and want to update to the latest FileCloud version, you only need to follow the instructions on the page Upgrade FileCloud on Linux.

Take server snapshots or back up your files before upgrading. This will help restore the system to a working state if there are any unforeseen issues.

If you are using native LDAP for authentication and using non-TLS connections set the LDAP Host value to ldap://hostname. Older FileCloud versions supported host value without the protocol definition ldap://
