WTM, SFTP, FTP(S)

When a virtual folder and a physical folder share the same name, WS_FTP Server now prioritizes the virtual folder. Previously, the physical folder was selected in this scenario. This resolves issues where unexpected physical folders were created and used instead of virtual folders.

Impact:

Systems that relied on the physical folder being selected when both exist will now see the virtual folder contents instead. Review your configuration before upgrading to ensure compatibility.

Upgrades now preserve existing SSH host key configurations. RSA and EdDSA keys remain unchanged if cleared before upgrade, and ECDSA fingerprints are retained.
