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


Upgrading through the admin portal link may lead to permission errors. We recommend upgrading using the procedures on this page instead of upgrading through the admin portal link.

If you are upgrading to 23.241 and using a FIPS-enabled system or encrypted managed storage, please follow the pre-upgrade instructions on page Upgrade Notes for FileCloud 23.241 or Later before performing the upgrade steps on this page.

These instructions are only intended for users who had previously updated to FileCloud Version 23.232 when the latest FileCloud version was released. 
If you have not yet updated to FileCloud Version 23.232 and want to update to the latest FileCloud version, you only need to follow the instructions on the page Upgrade FileCloud on Linux.

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://

Upgrade steps:

  1. Take server snapshots or back up your files. This will help restore the system to a working state if there are any unforeseen issues.
  2. Upgrade using the appropriate procedure below.
  3. Important: In FileCloud 23.241, the hash algorithm used to verify the FileCloud license has changed. When the update is complete, to enable access to FileCloud, redownload and reinstall your license. See Install the FileCloud License for help.
