SecureCRT 6.2

SecureCRT 6.2 combines rock-solid terminal emulation with the strong encryption, data integrity, and authentication options of the Secure Shell protocol. SecureCRT provides secure remote access, file transfer, and data tunneling for everyone in your organization. It gives you rock-solid terminal emulation, file transfer, and data tunneling combined with the strong encryption, authentication, and data integrity of the Secure Shell protocol. Whether you are looking for a Telnet replacement with solid security and session management or a more capable remote access tool to raise your productivity to the nth degree,

SecureCRT is an application you can live in all day long. Access your full array of network devices from one client with SSH, Telnet, Telnet/SSL, RLogin, serial, and TAPI protocols. A multi-session tabbed interface includes extensive session management and customization for named sessions and firewalls, toolbars, menus, fonts, cursors, and color schemes. Automate and streamline repetitive tasks using powerful scripting support, a built-in script recorder, multi-session launch, mapped keys, and a button bar for repeated commands. Rich emulation includes VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console, with support for basic and host-based printing. Securely transfer files using SFTP, or by using Zmodem, Xmodem, or Ymodem from an SSH1 or SSH2 session.

SecureCRT and the SecureFX file transfer client can share global and session options and the host key database so configuring a connection only needs to be done once. An optional "FIPS Mode? uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and only allows FIPS-approved algorithms. SecureCRT includes a 30-day evaluation license for the fully-functional application and technical support.

Benefits:

1. Securely access business applications on UNIX, Linux or VMS from Windows PCs — employ the rich emulation support for VT100/102/220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console.
2. Configure, manage and customize 5 to 5,000 sessions with full control over scrollback, key mappings, colors, fonts, and more.
3. Access your full array of network devices from one client with SSH2, SSH1, Telnet, Telnet/SSL, Serial, and other protocols.
4. Leverage the high-productivity UI with time-saving capabilities including multi-session launch, tabbed sessions, cloned sessions, a button bar for repeated commands, and mapped keys.
5. Depend on the open standard Secure Shell protocol for encrypted logon and session data, flexible authentication options, and optional FIPS 140-2 -approved ciphers.
6. Automate repetitive tasks in SecureCRT by running scripts using VBScript, JScript, or PerlScript. The Script Recorder builds your keystrokes into a VBScript.
7. Transfer files between network devices with SFTP or Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem protocols.
8. Save steps with the close integration of SecureCRT and the SecureFX file transfer client, which share sessions and settings that let you run SFTP, FTP, and FTP/SSL file transfer sessions without reentering passwords.

Major Features:

1. Edit multiple sessions at the same time. The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.
2. Remember and connect to sessions from last use. A new option remembers which sessions were open the last time SecureCRT ran and connects them automatically.
3. Rotate SecureCRT log files nightly. There is an option to create a new log file at midnight -- you set a variable in the log file name to write log output to a new file daily.
4. Use parameter substitutions in log file paths. If a log file path does not already exist, it will be created automatically.
5. Specify different log files for the same session. A new command-line parameter /LOG allows a log file to be specified on the command line.
6. Increase your scrollback without increasing memory use. The scrollback buffer memory is now allocated dynamically significantly reducing the amount of memory SecureCRT uses.
7. Use a smart card to authenticate. Support for PKCS #11 simplifies smart-card authentication.
8. Manage your keys. Agent support in the Activator allows keys to be explicitly added and removed.
9. 64-bit Windows support. A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms.

Enhancements:

1. Synchronization enhancement:

• Filter files when doing synchronize operations: New filter support allows files to be included or excluded during a sychronize operation, which makes it possible to do things like exclude an .svn folder. Wildcards are supported.
  

2. New session management options:

• Edit multiple sessions at the same time: The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.
• Remember and connect to sessions from last use: A new option remembers which sessions were open the last time SecureFX ran and connects them automatically.
  

3. FTP-related enhancements:

• Use mutual authentication: Self-signed certificates can be generated and used with FTP/SSL.
• Establish FTP or FTP/SSL data connections from behind a restrictive firewall: A new option allows the local ports to be limited to a specific range.
  

4. SSH2-related enhancements:

• Use a smart card to authenticate: Support for PKCS #11 simplifies smart-card authentication.
• Manage your keys: Agent support in the Activator allows keys to be explicitly added and removed.
  

5. New installer option:

• 64-bit Windows support: A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms.

Requirements:

• 486-based PC
• 16 MB RAM
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
