New Directory Opus 5.100 update adds FTPS support for Amiga users

The latest version of Directory Opus 5, version 5.100, is now available for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, and MorphOS. This update is not a dramatic redesign, but it does bring useful improvements for everyday file management, especially for users who work with remote servers and archives. The biggest change is the addition of FTPS support. In simple terms, Directory Opus can now connect to secure FTP servers, making it safer to transfer files over a network. Users can choose secure connections through the normal FTP settings, and the program now understands both regular FTP links and secure FTPS links. The update also improves how Directory Opus handles FTP connections in general. Transfers should behave more reliably, especially with modern servers, and the program is better at recovering from certain connection problems.

Another fix concerns archive browsing. Some users previously saw empty entries when looking inside certain archive folders. Version 5.100 corrects this, making archive handling cleaner and less confusing. The release process has also been improved, so the downloadable packages should preserve the correct file permissions when built on modern systems. This is a small background change, but it helps avoid problems after installation. Directory Opus 5.100 follows version 5.99, which introduced improvements for modern graphics setups and AmigaOS 4 displays. Together, the two releases make Directory Opus feel better suited to current Amiga-style systems without changing what users already know. For most users, the message is simple: Directory Opus 5.100 is a maintenance-focused update with better secure file transfers, smoother archive browsing, and cleaner packaging. It keeps the program familiar, while making it more reliable for today’s Amiga setups.
