Xshell 3.0 build 0252

Xshell 3.0 build 0252 is used as a SSH1, SSH2, SFTP, TELNET, RLOGIN and SERIAL terminal emulator for Windows platforms, which lets you easily and securely access Unix/Linux hosts on a Windows workstation. SSH (Secure Shell) protocol supports encryption and user authentication for secure connections over the Internet, and it replaces legacy protocols such as TELNET and RLOGIN.

Xshell is designed to satisfy the needs of both novice and advanced users. It adopts the standard Windows style guide for easy and convenient user interface, and it works seamlessly with other Windows applications. It also provides advanced users with powerful features such as local commands, searching with regular expressions, dynamic port forwarding, international languages and so forth.

Major Benefits:

1. Secures network connections against malicious attacks. Xshell supports SSH1/SSH2 protocols, password, and DSA/RSA public key user authentication methods, and encrypts all traffics with various encryption algorithms.
2. Replaces insecure telnet clients. Xshell supports VT100, VT220, VT320, XTERM, LINUX, SCOANSI and ANSI terminal emulation and provides various terminal appearance options replacing legacy telnet clients.
3. Supports secure connections for X11 and arbitrary TCP/IP applications. Xshell supports the port forwarding feature over the SSH tunneling mechanism, so that all TCP/IP applications can share the secure connection without any modification on the program.
