Short answer: Yes, pretty much.

But first I suggest you BACKUP your entire current ioFTPD directory/config before you start updating files.

To upgrade you need to compare the new ioFTPD.ini to your old one and make the necessary changes (settings, commands, permissions etc.) and compare the contents of /text/ftp (6.0.x) has a couple of new files. And the tcl stuff in /lib is updated.

When that's done you need to of course replace ioFTPD.exe. With that said I have to point out that it's no guarantee that all scripts will work. If you get crashes (see C:\ioFTPD.crash.log) it's probably a script. Try disabling all scripts and events and enable them one by one to find out which one is causing the crash. Could happen on site shutdown as Yil mentioned but it shouldn't be a problem.

Now, ioFTPD itself could also crash since there has only been a couple of new builds since Yil started to work on it. So please keep your eyes open to what happens and try to report any errors as thoroughly as possible (with relevant information).

Hope this helps
