SecureCRT® 5.5 and SecureFX® 4.5 Releases Add New Ways to Automatically Connect to Multiple Sessions, Password Caching, and Support for Windows Vista
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 5 /-- Delivering time-saving tools is the focus of the latest software releases from VanDyke Software, Inc., the developer of Secure Shell solutions that balance strong security with ease of use.
"Time strapped network administrators are always looking for ways to simplify and automate their processes," said Maureen Jett, VanDyke Software's Product Director. "With the SecureCRT 5.5 and SecureFX 4.5 releases, we provide new ways to automatically connect to multiple servers on startup using the built-in auto session, and to easily move between the terminal emulation and file transfer applications. We've also added a script recorder to SecureCRT. This makes scripting of repetitive functions easier to do on the fly and brings scripting within reach of less experienced users."
"Auto starting with a given folder is tremendously useful," said a SecureCRT customer using the new 5.5 release. "I also like the way you can right-click a folder and pick Connect in Tabs, which opens each item located in the folder in a new tab."
"We've also looked at interoperability and compatibility with these releases," said Jett. "Customers find it difficult to deal with key formats for public-key authentication. They were asking for more options and flexibility, so we've added support for OpenSSH format keys. Windows Vista is also supported with these new releases."
To further improve integration of SecureCRT and SecureFX, SSH2 session passwords can be cached like passphrases, so that you don't have to re-enter passwords. This builds on the applications' ability to share session settings, public-key storage, and other configuration elements. Toolbar buttons in both applications make it easy to switch between terminal emulation and file transfer activities.
Armed with strong encryption, trusted authentication, and data integrity, you can confidently exchange electronic data over public networks. SecureCRT is the tool of choice for IT professionals who are responsible for network administration and end-user access where security is critical, combining a feature-filled terminal emulator with the security of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SecureFX is a versatile file transfer application that supports SFTP, FTP over SSL, as well as standard FTP. VanDyke Software also offers the VShell Secure Shell server, which replaces Telnet and FTP for secure network administration and end-user access on Windows and UNIX platforms.
