Rumpus Version 6
Rumpus version 6 represents a dramatic update from previous releases, and includes too many additions and improvements to list fully. However, here are some highlights:
Rumpus FileWatch
A new application, "Rumpus FileWatch", is now included with Rumpus. FileWatch can be run from your desktop Mac, and displays current user activity and recently transferred files in real time. Files can also be downloaded from the server to your own desktop simply by dragging the file from the list, eliminating the need to search for uploaded files on a remote server volume. Files can also be drop shipped to end users, complete with an automatic e-mail notifying the user of the file posting and providing a simple method to access it.
Multi-Domain Support
The basic multi-domain support offered by previous versions of Rumpus has been dramatically expanded. Multiple domains can now be defined in Rumpus, and each domain can be customized with it's own appearance, including colors, fonts, icons and more. Alternate appearance templates can be thoroughly customized, as always, and can be displayed based on user selection or user account setting, as well as by domain name.
Web File Manager Updates
The WFM can now easily be customized with page header and footer text, a "welcome" message and the ability to restrict upload types. Additional customization is also easier thanks to a revised and heavily CSS-oriented interface.
User Account Management
Rumpus 6 makes user account management easier and more flexible through the tracking of notes associated with each account, user-specific welcome messages, automatic account setup notification via e-mail, and a completely revised Web user account management interface. System administrators can now easily customize what user account settings can be managed by sub-administrators, simplifying user management and improving security.
Usability improvements
Other improvements made in Rumpus 6 include:
- Mail and Web server preferences to simplify routine setup tasks
- New homogenous "files transferred" and "Failed Transfers" logs
- The ability to filter recent files lists by transfer type and user
- A "logout URL" allows exiting users to be redirected to a primary Web site
- Improved user feedback for long operations like entire folder downloads
- Drag & drop uploads can now be used with Upload Center forms
- User accounts can now be enabled or disabled for select protocols
- A template user account can now be chosen to set defaults for Web-created accounts
- The built in WFM color schemes have been revised
- A second Event Notice can now be triggered for file uploads
- The Rumpus control application has been reorganized for clarity
- Users can now choose the language or appearance of the Web interface, if needed
- An IP address "White List" is now available
- Help text has been improved, and is easier to access
