VanDyke Software’s New Releases of SecureCRT 6.1 and SecureFX 6.1 Allow System Administrators to Automate Routine Tasks

 VanDyke's Secure Shell clients for remote access and file transfer add new

    ways to streamline session management and administration tasks with

              scripting and new search and logon capabilities



    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 22 /EMWNews/ -- VanDyke Software, a

developer of Secure Shell solutions that balance strong security with ease

of use, today announced the official releases of SecureCRT(R) 6.1 and

SecureFX(R) 6.1.



    SecureCRT 6.1 introduces new scripting capabilities that allow system

administrators to automate routine activities. "Scripting allows our

customers, mostly busy IT professionals, to save time by automating certain

processes," said Maureen Jett, VanDyke Software's Product Director. "In

this release, we focused on adding internal scripting functionality. In

addition to accessing the clipboard and session options, we added the

ability to send special keys, which makes it easier to create scripts that

are protocol and emulation independent."



    "We also made it easier to script logons by allowing you to enter

Secure Shell logon credentials in the terminal window, and to save

usernames and passwords with keyboard-interactive authentication. And, to

help customers quickly make use of SecureCRT's scripting capabilities,

we've added example scripts to the program." Other new features include the

ability to search from the Connect dialog, disconnect and reconnect all

tabbed sessions, and launch a remote command or application on connect.



    Site synchronization is simple and fast in SecureFX 6.1 with a

synchronize database and the ability to use an active session for

synchronization activities. SecureFX speeds up navigation by using context

menu items to move back, forward, to the parent folder, to the home folder,

to the root folder, and to the current folder in Explorer. Like SecureCRT

6.1, the SecureFX 6.1 Connect dialog allows searching for sessions, hosts,

folder, or keywords.



    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(R) Secure Shell server, which

replaces Telnet and FTP for secure network administration and end-user

access on Windows and UNIX platforms. The VanDyke ClientPack combines a

powerful set of command-line utilities for securely automating routine file

transfer, shell, and public-key administration tasks on Windows, Linux, and

UNIX.
